The arch index: a measure of flat or fat feet?

abstract：:There are few reports in the literature documenting the efficacy of isolated arthrodesis for inflammatory arthritis of the talonavicular joint. Accordingly, we reviewed a single surgeon's experience with this procedure in twenty consecutive cases from this patient population. A technique using indirect joint distracti...
