Abstract

Background. Severe disability originating from feet generally requires surgery. In addition to a number of other techniques, triple arthrodesis is still used to treat deformity and instability unresponsive to conservative measures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the triple arthrodesis operation in two groups of patients with different primary etiologies and to identify the possible factors affecting the results.
