Tarsalmetatarsal
(TMT) osteoarthritis is encountered frequently. Pathology at the TMT joints
play a role in continued foot fatigue and further compensation of gait
laterally to avoid discomfort over the medial and central columns of the
midfoot.
Sequeula and
further pathology to the
central TMT joints are multifactorial. Recalcitrant
pain, subtle instability, and arthrosis are commonly observed.
Patients who fail
nonoperative treatment are subjective to reconstructive surgical treatment. We
present a straightforward stepwise technique for an in situ arthrodesis of the
central TMT joints.
