Abstract:
Triple arthrodesis is often the procedure of choice for end-stage adult-acquired flatfoot. The benefits of triple arthrodesis include resolution of symptoms, hindfoot realignment, and stability. This article reviews the operative technique, realignment considerations, and postoperative management when performing triple arthrodesis. When taken into account, these recommendations provide a favorable outcome for both the patient and the surgeon.
