Abstract
The triple arthrodesis procedure remains the historical standard to treat complex
hindfoot pathology. However, in recent data, the medial double arthrodesis has been
documented to provide similar benefit with decreased complication rates compared with
the triple arthrodesis. Therefore, increased interest in this procedure for the treatment
of complex hindfoot pathologies has ensued. We describe the technical components of
the medial double arthrodesis.
