A method of triple arthrodesis is described which involves inlay of the subtalar and midtarsal joints. It is applicable to the undeformed and valgus foot as is encountered in poliomyelitis, spasmodic flat foot, cerebral palsy and spina bifida. The operation was successful in controlling deformity and pain. The only significant complication was failure of fusion of the midtarsal joint which occurred in three of eighty-five feet (3-5\%).
