Triple arthrodesis. A critical long-term review

PD Angus and HR Cowell

The results of triple arthrodesis performed in 80 feet and followed for an average of 13 years are reviewed. Although the majority of patients were very pleased, the results of objective assessment were less favourable. There was a high incidence of degenerative joint changes in the ankle and midfoot and also of pseudarthrosis, avascular necrosis of the talus and residual deformity. Pre-operative rigid equinovarus deformity produced the majority of the poor results. It is suggested that bony resection alone might not be the best means of correcting severe equinus.
