Part 6 (23 November 2018) – Aiming in Tibio-Calcaneal Fusion Using Fine Wire Frame

Further improvement on X-ray and clinically as well.
​Clinically alignment of the foot does actually look around 15 deg valgus, a bit of equinuus.  I cannot say anything about translation in the AP view.

Plan:
  1. New prescription to correct further 5 deg ov valgus (aiming toward 10 deg of valgus)
  2. Still some equinuus and will correct it for further 5 deg
  3. Additional translation of the “target” 5mm medially
  4. Follow up in 2 weeks and if everything is aligned we will compress the docking site with struts
