Triple arthrodesis is a surgical procedure whose purpose is to relieve pain in the rear part of the foot, improve stability of the foot, and in some cases correct deformity of the foot, by fusing of the three main joints of the hindfoot: the subtalar joint, calcaneocuboid joint and the talonavicular joint.
The dorsal talonavicular ligament extends from the dorsal aspect of the foot from the neck of the talus to the navicular. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The socket of this joint is formed by the concave articular facets of the navicular, calcaneus, calcaneonavicular part of bifurcate ligament and the spring ligament (plantar calcaneonavicular ligament), where the ...
Treatment comprises early reduction of the dislocation, and frequently involves open reduction internal fixation to restore and stabilise the talonavicular joint. Open reduction and fusion of the calcaneocuboid joint is occasionally required. [3]
The cuboideonavicular joint is a joint (articulation) in the foot formed between the navicular bone and cuboid bone. The navicular bone is connected with the cuboid bone by the dorsal , plantar , and interosseous cuboideonavicular ligaments .
A 2005 review by Cohen concluded, 'The SI joint is a real yet underappreciated pain generator in an estimated 15% to 25% of patients with axial LBP'. [34] Studies by Ha, et al., show that the incidence of SI joint degeneration in post-lumbar fusion surgery is 75% at 5 years post-surgery, based on imaging. [35]
The cuneonavicular joint is a joint (articulation) in the human foot. It is formed between the navicular bone and the three cuneiform bones . The navicular and cuneiform bones are connected by dorsal and plantar ligaments .
Lameness is most commonly associated with injury to synovial joints, or those joints containing articular cartilage, a joint capsule, and a synovial membrane.Joint disease may affect the joint capsule and synovial membrane, articular cartilage, subchondral bone (the bone underneath the cartilage), menisci, or any ligaments associated with the joint.
Arthrodesis, also known as artificial ankylosis or syndesis, is the artificial induction of joint ossification between two bones by surgery.This is done to relieve intractable pain in a joint which cannot be managed by pain medication, splints, or other normally indicated treatments.
