Arthrodesis of the hindfoot is typically used for the correction of severe and arthritic progressive collapsing foot deformity. Concomitant bony or soft tissue procedures may be helpful in patients with congenital abnormalities including the ball-and-socket ankle or congenital vertical talus. Dysplasia of the hindfoot bones may be more common than previously recognized, and corrective procedures or alterations in technique may need to be performed during hindfoot arthrodesis to account for bony deformity. Intraarticular osteotomies, extraarticular osteotomies, tendon lengthening, and tendon transfer procedures may be used in specific instances to aid in deformity correction and improve overall function.
