Popis: | Triple arthrodesis, consisting of a fusion of the calcaneo-cuboid, talonavicular, and talocalcaneal joints, is used to correct deformity and replace braces. Indications depend on symptoms. For good results, patients should be at least 12 years old. A review of 25 cases shows that a varus deformity usually does not give good results, a pseudarthrosis always had a poor outcome, and patients are usually more satisfied than the surgeon with the result. |
