Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Detection of the ankle joint's build-up rate and speed after arthrodesis of the same using Charnley or MonoTube Fixator (X-ray and CT imaging)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Recording of the functional result as well as the satisfaction and the "return to working life" with the two fixator systems (questionnaires). Change of the pressure load of the foot. Recording of the functional result as well as the satisfaction and the "return to working life" with the two fixator systems (questionnaires). Change in pressure load on the foot. The parameters are recorded after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Depending on the status of the reconstruction, the controls are continued in 3-month steps.	—
