Dr. Peter Blume has recently published an article on the procedure known as Tripe Arthrodesis.

You can find the entire article online.

From the article:

A triple arthrodesis consists of the surgical fusion of the talocalcaneal (TC), talonavicular (TN), and calcaneocuboid (CC) joints in the foot. The primary goals of a triple arthrodesis are to relieve pain from arthritic, deformed, or unstable joints. Other important goals are the correction of deformity and creation of a stable, balanced plantigrade foot for ambulation.
