Abstract

Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis is best suited for patients requiring in situ fusion with minimal deformity or bony destruction. Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis in the prone position technique offers some advantages over the traditional arthroscopic lateral approach: better intra-articular visualization, more thorough preparation of the fusion site, and minimal bone removal of the lateral side with better control of the arthrodesis position and with less chance of malunion, and the possibility to perform a concomitant surgical fusion or debridement of the ankle joint during the same operative procedure with no need for additional portals or orientation.
