Director of Podiatric Residency Training,
Plantation General Hospital
36-month Podiatric Surgical Residency
 

As a student and early resident, I can well recall the esteem and almost mysticism that comes with the ‘Triple Arthrodesis’ procedure. It seemed as though this procedure was used as a ‘right of passage’ for residents, and even served the role of a gauge as to the quality of one’s program volume. This type of prestige and attention may give the procedure itself a bit too much glory and may lead to apprehension in the case of the surgeon. To help counter these concerns, you need to equip yourself with a strong knowledge base and sense of clinical experience when approaching a reconstructive procedure such as the triple arthrodesis.

From Ryerson and Lambrinudi to the leading surgeons of today, the Triple Arthrodesis procedure has been well defined and the technique has been thoroughly refined into the surgical technique currently used in the OR.  Dr. Spinner presents a well structured lecture which reviews the history, indications, technique, and provides personal insight into the triple arthrodesis. Careful review of this PRESENT lecture will give a very clinically oriented view of the procedure and will also expose you to the more commonly encountered complications. Seeing these images will help you take steps to avoid these type of complications when the blade is in your hands. I think you will benefit from the large number of clinical and radiographic images that Dr. Spinner includes to emphasize his teaching points and I encourage you to take a few minutes and view this lecture on line.
