Brief summary

The aim of this observational study is to collect and evaluate the current clinical experience gained from the Hindfoot Arthrodesis Nail (HAN) for ankle and hindfoot fusions.

Detailed description

The HAN (Synthes) is a newly designed, titanium nail for trans-calcaneal, retrograde hindfoot fusion. The lateral bend allows an entry site in the center of the lateral column of the calcaneus, thus minimizing the risk of iatrogenic injury of the plantar neurovascular bundle.
