MIS Transmalleolar Tibiotalocalcaneal Fusion Helps Minimize Wound, Infection Complications .
The article discusses a minimally invasive transmalleolar tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion technique designed to reduce wound and infection complications compared with traditional open approaches. By using a limited incision and minimal soft-tissue dissection to insert a hindfoot fusion nail across the tibia, talus, and calcaneus, surgeons can stabilize complex ankle and hindfoot pathology while preserving local vascularity and reducing tissue trauma, important factors for patients at higher risk of wound healing problems. This approach has been shown in related reports to potentially shorten recovery time, lower rates of dehiscence and infection, and support satisfactory functional outcomes with fewer perioperative complications, particularly in medically fragile or high-risk populations.
