Thalo Navicular Arthrodesis Of Steinhaeuser In Senegal.
- The Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery , 15 (1) : 1-5
Résumé
An isolated arthrodesis from the line space of Chopart results from experimental study carried out by Steinhaeuser
and its implementation/practice as described in the book he wrote in 1978. It has proven the significance of the line
space of Chopart in the restoration from foot malformations/deformities.
When Chellius (1), repeated the cadaveric experimentation of Steinhaeuser, he could draw the conclusion that
blockade of talo navicular articulation /joint is sufficient to lock the back of the foot /back foot, and that calcaneo
cuboidian blockade does not have any additional effect. These conclusions are confirmed by a clinical study carried
out by . (ASENCIO and all.?) (2)
Chopart arthrodesis has two major indications in Africa:
In Africa the arthrodèse/artthrodesis of Chopart finds two principal indications: the painful post-traumatic foot and
the distorted poliomyelitic paralytic foot.
