  • Title: Tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis with trephine joint resection and dowel calcaneal bone graft.
    Author: Withey CJ, Murphy AL, Horner R.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 2014; 53(2):243-7. PubMed ID: 24388600.
    Abstract:
    Arthritis of the tarsometatarsal joints is a challenging problem to treat. It can cause chronic foot pain and functional disability. We present a surgical technique for tarsometatarsal joint arthrodesis using a trephine to resect the articular surfaces and a dowel plug of an autogenous calcaneal graft with locking plate fixation. The procedure has been shown to result in osseous fusion, and it is technically relatively simple to complete.
