Abstract
Hindfoot arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical method for treatment of Haglund’s deformity and pathologies of the posterior ankle and subtalar joints. From June 2006 to December 2008 a total of 53 patients were treated with hindfoot arthroscopy of which 46 patients were available for follow-up. The AOFAS hindfoot score improved from an average of 60 points preoperatively (range 42-80 points) to 90 points (50-105) postoperatively (p <0.001). The postoperative Hannover score averaged 91 points (76-100 points). Pain on the visual analog scale (VAS) improved significantly from 7.3 (3-10) to 1.8 (0-5). In the following paper the indications and technique of hindfoot arthroscopy are described.
