Abstract
Tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint arthrodesis is performed for a variety of etiologies including primary midfoot osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, complex multiplanar foot deformity, neuromuscular disease, and Charcot neuroarthropathy. Several of these etiologies and their associated management are covered in alternate pertinent chapters. The main focus of this chapter will be TMT arthrodesis related to primary osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, and some discussion regarding the procedures as they relate to associated foot deformities. TMT arthrodesis can be considered for an isolated, affected ray (i.e., 1st, 2nd, or 3rd), or for multiple adjacent rays.
