What happens duri​​n​g surgery?

Your child's surgeon will make a cut on the top of the foot.
Several foot bones are fused together (talus and navicular, talus and calcaneous, and the calcaneous and cuboid).

Screws or staples are used to maintain the new position.

With a triple arthodesis there is a significant loss of range of motion in the foot.
