Résumé
Joint preserving strategies have evolved to a successful treatment option in early and midstage medial ankle OA caused by varus deformity. Though talar tilt can often not be fully corrected, it provides substantial postoperative pain relief, functional improvement, and slowing of the degenerative process. Osseous balancing with osteotomies is the main step for restoration of ankle mechanics and normalization of joint load. Overall, the key for success is to understand the underlying causes that have contributed to the varus OA in each case, and to use all treatment modalities necessary to restore appropriate alignment of the hindfoot complex.
