Abstract

Tarsometatarsal arthrodesis is indicated for degenerative joint disease after trauma. Deformity is often associated with post-traumatic arthropathy. Outcomes after surgical management are directly related to realignment. This article reviews the indications, preoperative evaluation, technical execution, and postoperative management of tarsometatarsal arthrodesis. Special emphasis is placed on realignment and restoration of normal foot architecture. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 95(1): 85–90, 2005)
