Proper realignment during triple arthrodesis surgery is crucial for successful outcomes. This study introduces an image-guided protocol to ensure accurate intraoperative alignment, aiming to prevent complications and improve patient function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatric Surgery
  • Surgical Technique

Background:

  • Triple arthrodesis addresses pain, deformity, and instability in the tritarsal complex.
  • Successful outcomes depend on precise joint realignment, not just bone fusion.
  • Poor surgical positioning can lead to persistent pain, gait issues, and adjacent joint stress.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a standardized protocol for intraoperative realignment during triple arthrodesis.
  • To utilize image intensification for guiding surgical alignment.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of this alignment protocol in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specific protocol for intraoperative triple arthrodesis realignment.
  • Guidance of the realignment process using image intensification (fluoroscopy).

  • Application of the protocol in a series of nine patients with diverse foot pathologies.

    • Main Results:

    • The study successfully implemented an image-guided protocol for triple arthrodesis realignment.
    • The protocol was applied to nine patients undergoing the procedure for various indications.
    • Intraoperative assessment of alignment was facilitated by image intensification.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate intraoperative realignment is paramount for successful triple arthrodesis.
    • Image intensification provides effective guidance for achieving optimal surgical alignment.
    • This protocol offers a method to improve outcomes by ensuring precise positioning during surgery.
