Isolated talonavicular joint arthrodesis through minimal incision surgery

Highlights • Talonavicular arthrodesis by MIS could be an option for the treatment of TN arthritis with risk of wound healing complications. • Radiographic and clinical consolidation was achieved in 10 of 11 cases of TN arthritis. • No cases of early complications, such as wound infections, neurovascular damage or delayed wound healing were collected. • This original technique could offer significant improvement in the functional outcomes and the quality of life of the patients. • Although a learning curve is mandatory, this original technique is considered as a reproducible procedure by the senior surgeon.
