Triple arthrodesis is largely used to restore painful hindfoot deformity. However, the procedure has been connected to several postoperative complications. Therefore, an isolated fusion of the talonavicular and the subtalar joint through a single medial approach has gained popularity. This "diple" arthrodesis provides effective correction of deformities and reduces the risk of wound healing problems on the lateral side of the foot.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the patient reported outcome measures (PROMS), radiological outcome and complications when performing a triple arthrodesis using the IOFIX system for the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints.
Methods: Data was collected prospectively. Twenty-nine consecutive patients were reviewed 1 year postoperative.

Introduction: After the spine, the knee is the second most common location for skeletal tuberculosis. An unusual complication of tuberculosis infection is triple knee deformity. The combination of knee flexion, posterolateral tibial subluxation, and external tibial rotation over femoral condyles manifests as a severe deformity.

It is related to delayed ossification due to physical or nutritional stress, associated with abnormal force distribution. There are still few studies on this condition and there is no consensus in the literature on its classification and treatment.

These patients often have associated first tarsometatarsal (TMT) instability on lateral weightbearing radiographs. It has not been well established if it is necessary to add first TMT arthrodesis to adequately correct the overall deformity.

Article Synopsis
- Osteolytic lesions in the spine can lead to instability, and different surgical methods aim to restore stability, but their biomechanical impacts are not well understood.
- The study assessed the biomechanical effects of three surgical techniques for treating a T12 osteolytic lesion using finite element analysis, simulating real human spinal conditions.
- Results showed that Model A had the least stress on the material but higher stress on instrumented vertebrae, while Model B was rigid with lower construct stress, and Model C had the lowest vertebral body stress but the highest screw pull-out stress, offering important insights for surgical decision-making.
