@entity2720 through a medial incision (modified triple arthrodesis) has become an increasingly popular technique for treating symptomatic @entity85 caused by @entity12290 . The purpose of this study was to look at its clinical and radiological mid- to long-term outcomes, including the rates of recurrent @entity85 , nonunion and @entity2530 of the dome of the talus. A total of 84 @entity1 (96 feet) with a symptomatic @entity2003 caused by @entity12290 were treated using a modified triple arthrodesis. The mean age of the @entity1 was 66 years (35 to 85) and the mean follow-up was 4.7 years (1 to 8.3). Both clinical and radiological outcomes were analysed retrospectively. In 86 of the 95 feet (90.5%) for which radiographs were available, there was no loss of correction at final follow-up. In all, 14 feet (14.7%) needed secondary surgery, six for nonunion, two for @entity2530 , five for progression of the @entity85 and @entity625 and one because of symptomatic overcorrection. The mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Hindfoot score (AOFAS score) at final follow-up was 67 (between 16 and 100) and the mean visual analogue score for @entity158 2.4 points (between 0 and 10). In conclusion, modified triple arthrodesis provides reliable correction of deformity and a good clinical outcome at mid- to long-term follow-up, with nonunion as the most frequent complication. @entity2530 of the talus is a rare but serious complication of this technique.
