Triple arthrodesis is a surgical procedure that fuses three joints in the foot to relieve pain and correct deformities. There are several synonyms for this procedure, including triple fusion, triple arthrodesis surgery, three-part fusion, and tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis. These terms all refer to the same procedure and are commonly used by healthcare professionals to describe the operation. The term "arthrodesis" itself means the surgical fusion of a joint, so any time this word is used, it is referring to the binding of two or more bones to eliminate motion at a joint. Triple arthrodesis is typically performed to treat conditions such as arthritis, foot deformities, and severe foot pain.
