Arthrodesis of the ankle is the method of choice for therapy-resistant pain symptoms. Regardless of the simple surgical technique of ankle arthrodesis, this intervention is often fraught with complications. The aim of the present study was to quantify the rate of non-union arthrodesis and to identify risk factors. There was a relatively high rate with a lack of bony union. This seems to be related to the number of risk factors. In addition, varying degrees of negative influence with respect to the successful bony union were found in individual consideration of the various risk factors.
