The influence of selective arthrodesis on three-dimensional range of motion of hindfoot joint: A cadaveric study

In single arthrodesis, subtalar arthrodesis had the greatest effect on the motion of unfused joints, and the least was the calcaneocuboid arthrodesis. The motion of the subtalar joint was eliminated more than half after double arthrodesis. The data provide a biomechanical rationale to ascertain the clinical implication of the arthrodesis.
