Abstract
Intramedullary tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (IMTCA) is an increasing ly used procedure for salvage of complex hindfoot and ankle disorders. (1,2) To avoid injury to vital plantar neurovascular structures, it is important to begin with an appropriate insertion site during retrogra de IMTCA. We use a simple, reproducible method to determine this site based on anatomic landmarks.
