Minimally Invasive Transmalleolar Osteotomy for Ankle Fusion: Surgical Demonstration
Kaitlin Neary, MD (Boise, ID), demonstrates the MIS transmalleolar ankle fusion technique, highlighting key access portals and the appropriate burr selection for optimal joint preparation. She describes how to achieve the correct radiographic views and why this minimally invasive approach offers significant advantages over traditional open fusion. The goal is to simplify joint positioning, maximize bone contact area, and enhance overall joint stability for a more efficient and effective fusion procedure.
