How to reduce the cost of hindfoot fusion.

abstract：:The use of locking plate technology in foot and ankle surgery has increased over the last decade. Reported applications include fracture repair, deformity correction, and arthrodesis. There is limited evidence, however, to guide clinicians with regard to the appropriate and optimal use of this technology. This work ai...
