  • Title: Principles of arthrodesis and advances in fixation for the adult acquired flatfoot.
    Author: Hardy MA, Logan DB.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2007 Oct; 24(4):789-813, x. PubMed ID: 17908645.
    Abstract:
    Arthrodesis continues to be the procedure of choice in treatment of the end-stage adult acquired flatfoot. Its goals are to provide pain relief, correct the deformity, and improve function and stability. A better understanding of anatomy and operative technique has led to significant refinements and advances in fixation. These devices have proved useful in arthrodesing and tenodesing procedures. The principles in achieving a sound arthrodesis and the various forms of fixation are discussed in detail.
