Abstract :

Pantalar arthrodesis is a common practice, especially in Charcot hindfoot. We present a case of hardware failure, which is probably more common in Charcot foot treatment. The approach of the lower locking nail is from posterior to anterior and went through the tuber calcaneus to the calcaneal anterior part, the posterior nail protrudes on both feet. Due to neuropathy and sensual disturbance, we suggest a close follow-up.
