Dislocations, fractures, and combination dislocations of the foot can lead to severe, painful arthrosis of the tarsal bones, in some cases with considerable deformation of the foot. These problems can result from severe injuries or from a false initial diagnosis, reposition or retention. If it is not possible to use conservative treatment to improve the condition and general mobility, a possible surgical method is partial arthrodesis. This may be combined with correction of the malposition of one or several joints of the foot. The indications, surgical methods, and results of corrective osteotomy of the foot are demonstrated from material taken from 31 case files treated in our clinic in TObingen.
