Twenty-nine feet in 28 @entity1 who underwent subtalar distraction @entity79 fusion for the treatment of @entity85 associated with symptomatic @entity4040 were evaluated. All @entity1 were assessed with the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Scale score. Eighteen @entity1 and 10 @entity1 with a mean age of 44 years were evaluated. The mean follow-up was 33 months. Subtalar @entity4040 was secondary to trauma in 27 of 29 feet (93%) with os calcis @entity174 in 19, @entity3029 in 5, and @entity174 in 3. Eighteen of the 28 @entity1 (64%) returned to either full- or part-time work. The change in the mean AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot Scale score from 25 preoperatively to 75 postoperatively was statistically significant (P < 0.0001). The radiographic analysis of the pre- and postoperative standing lateral radiographs showed an average increase of 8 mm in hindfoot height, 9 degrees in lateral talocalcaneal angle, and 11 degrees in lateral talar declination angle that were statistically significant (P < 0.0001). All @entity1 but one (96%) were satisfied. Complications included four nonunions, two varus malunions, one @entity1642 , and one medial plantar nerve @entity809 . Each nonunion occurred in @entity1 who smoked.
