Abstract

-The morbidity associated with large bony defects can be debilitating for patients and leaves few options for surgeons.

-Tantalum and 3-D metal spacers (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) are a recent innovation for large bony defects, specifically for use in the hindfoot.

-Our purpose is to retrospectively review the surgical outcomes, union rates, and complications with patients who underwent metal spacer implantation.
