Effect of early compared with late weightbearing on the outcomes of subtalar joint arthrodesis

Early weightbearing (≤ two weeks after isolated primary subtalar arthrodesis) is not associated with any deleterious effects on union, infection rates, or wound complications. This study also identified that there is a paucity of evidence regarding the impact of early compared with late weightbearing on outcomes after subtalar arthrodesis, and is limited by the quality of the studies available for this meta-analysis of single proportions.
