Description: Triple arthrodesis is considered as a late salvage-stabilising procedure that relieves pain but sacrifices joint motion. If the subtalar or midtarsal joints are arthritic and painful, a triple arthrodesis will allow correction and pain control. The trend for triple fusion in the younger HMSN has fallen out of favour of late.
