Title: Triple arthrodesis by inlay grafting--a method suitable for the undeformed or valgus foot. Author: Williams PF, Menelaus MB. Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1977 Aug; 59(3):333-6.

The only significant complication was failure of fusion of the midtarsal joint which occurred in three of eighty-five feet (3-5%).[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
