ARTHRODESIS FOR TRAUMATIC FLAT FOOT - TARSOMETATARSAL AND MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL ARCH FUSION BY INLAY GRAFTING, 11 FEET FOLLOWED FOR 1.5 YEARS

We examined 11 feet, 18 (11-30) months after simultaneous tarsometatar sal and medial longitudinal arch fusion to stabilize a residual mobile flat foot resulting from an injury, All had solid fusion and the surg ical correction of the flat foot deformity was maintained, At the foll ow-up, we rated 6 feet as excellent and 5 as good, Mechanically, simul taneous arthrodesis of the tarsometatarsal joint and the longitudinal arch of the foot seem better than isolated arthrodesis of the tarsomet atarsal joints.
