Abstract

We performed the compression arthrodesis in ankle joint of 4 cases, using autocompression angle plate. In all cases, we made successful union within 3 months, without any specific complications. This method gives several advantages, such as short period of external support, good cosmetic effect, early union and early rehabilitation.
