Abstract
Triple arthrodesis play a significant role in the management of hindfoot osteoarthrosis and deformity. Traditionally, this is performed as an open procedure with extensive soft-tissue dissection and bone resection especially at the talonavicular joint. Arthroscopy can provide better intra-articular visualization, minimal bone removal, and better fusion surface preparation, especially of the talonavicular joint. This may reduce the nonunion rate of the talonavicular joint. Furthermore, “4-corner arthrodesis” at the junction site among the four hindfoot bones will aid stabilization of the position and fusion of the subtalar, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints.1–3
