We examined 16 feet, 33 to 133 months (mean 83) after simultaneous calcaneocuboid and talonavicular fusions performed for a variety of painful disorders of the hindfoot. Objectively, four feet were rated excellent, eight good, four fair and none poor. There was one asymptomatic nonunion of the talonavicular joint. Progressive degenerative arthritis of the ankle was seen in six patients and of the naviculocuneiform joint in seven. Biomechanically, simultaneous calcaneocuboid and talonavicular arthrodesis is better than an isolated talonavicular fusion and is a simple and effective alternative to triple arthrodesis.
