Post-polio residual paralysis can lead to severe musculoskeletal issues, including foot deformities and ankle instability, which can progress to end-stage arthritis. These complications cause significant pain and disability, dramatically impacting quality of life. Arthroscopic ankle fusion is a promising treatment option for addressing ankle joint dysfunction in post-polio patients. This technique discusses our experience with arthroscopic assisted ankle arthrodesis (tibiotalar fusion) to correct alignment and improve functionality in a post-polio residual paralytic foot.
小儿麻痹后遗症导致的残留麻痹会引发严重的肌肉骨骼问题，包括足部畸形和踝关节不稳，进而发展为终末期关节炎。这些并发症会引起剧痛和残疾，对生活质量产生重大影响。关节镜下踝关节融合术是治疗小儿麻痹症患者踝关节功能障碍的一种有前景的治疗选择。本文介绍了我们在关节镜辅助下踝关节融合术（胫距关节融合）治疗小儿麻痹后遗症残留麻痹足以矫正对线并改善功能方面的经验。
