AT - Time that elapsed between initial treatment and secondary procedure; -1 - patient with outpatient follow-up shorter than six months; -2 - patient with outpatient follow-up shorter than 12 months; NA - not applicable.

The columns “Ankle arthrosis/arthrodesis” and “Subtalar arthrosis/arthrodesis” refer to the degree of arthrosis in these joints or the presence of arthrodesis or talectomy at the time of the reassessment. Osteonecrosis refers to the radiographic observation of osteonecrosis of the talar body Delayed consolidation refers to consolidation that occurred more than six months after the initial treatment
