| Abstract | Arthrodesis of 1 or more joints of the hindfoot is performed to treat severe functional impairment due to pain, deformity, and/or instability. Evaluation of the results of hindfoot arthrodesis from the published data has been difficult owing to the great variety of pathologic entities and surgical techniques reported in the studies. A comprehensive search for relevant reports, reference lists, and citation tracking of the included studies was conducted using the PubMed(®), Embase(®), and CINAHL(®) databases. The studies had to have been prospective, included patients with hindfoot problems, evaluated arthrodesis of 1 or more tarsal joints, and had at least 1 of the following primary clinical outcome parameters: pain, function, or complications. Two of us independently selected the relevant studies using predefined criteria and graded the quality of evidence using a 0 to 9 star scale according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A total of 16 prospective case series were included; 5 studies scored 6 stars, 8 scored 5 stars, 2 scored 4 stars, and 1 scored 3 stars. A best evidence synthesis was performed, and improvement in function and pain was found for 3 combinations: talonavicular arthrodesis for rheumatoid arthritis, triple arthrodesis for rheumatoid arthritis, and subtalar arthrodesis for post-traumatic arthritis showed good results for pain and function, the last especially when performed arthroscopically. The best evidence syntheses revealed good results for pain and function for these disease-operative technique combinations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
