Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Podiatry
  • Perioperative Nursing

Background:

  • Triple arthrodesis involves surgical fusion of the calcaneocuboid, talonavicular, and talocalcaneal foot joints.
  • It is a palliative procedure for debilitating hindfoot conditions like clubfoot, arthritis, and Charcot's joint disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the key considerations for perioperative nurses managing patients undergoing triple arthrodesis.
  • To emphasize the importance of understanding foot anatomy, surgical steps, and potential complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of triple arthrodesis procedures and patient care protocols.
  • Discussion of anesthesia options for pain management.
  • Emphasis on a systems approach to perioperative nursing care.

Main Results:

  • Triple arthrodesis offers significant patient benefits, including pain reduction and enhanced foot function.
  • Effective intraoperative and postoperative pain management is achievable through various anesthesia options.

Conclusions:

  • Perioperative nurses require comprehensive knowledge of foot anatomy, surgical procedures, and potential complications associated with triple arthrodesis.
  • Implementing a systematic approach to patient care throughout the perioperative phase is crucial for achieving optimal patient outcomes.
