Abstract
Long-term results following triple arthrodesis by the method of Lambrinudi are reported in fifty feet. The average follow-up was eighteen years. Failures were encountered in only eight feet, and good results were obtained in twenty. Most of the patients had post-poliomyelitic paralysis. This operation allowed most braced patients to be free of the orthosis. All but three patients were able to work, and those unable to do so had other severe disabilities because of poliomyelitis. An extensive review of the literature is provided, showing the indications and contraindications for the procedure.
