Foot Fusion Types

Orthopaedic surgeons perform fusions in any region of the foot or ankle: forefoot (green), midfoot (blue), hindfoot (orange) and ankle (yellow).

Operative podiatrists mostly perform forefoot fusions (green coloured bones)

More examples of specific types of foot fusions are listed below.

Simply click on a thumbnail image (below and on subsequent fusion pages) and a larger picture will load separately in a new window.

*You must have the more recent versions of Microsoft Explorer or Netscape to be able to view the pictures. Also, if you are running software such as "Pop-up stopper", be sure to disable it because after all, these are pop-up windows.

Ankle: (ortho) fusion of the talus to the tibia; fibula to tibia. This fusion is shown on the previous page with the "arrow in the middle" of the two diagrams.

Subtalar: (ortho) fusion of talus to calcaneus.

Please go on to page 1, page 3, page 4, page 5, or page 6 of fusions.
