Subtalar and talonavicular arthrodesis under lateral arthroscopy

Abstract

Open hindfoot surgery incurs certain complications: notably, infection and skin problems. Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis reduced the complications rate while ensuring >90% fusion. To date, arthroscopy is little used for talonavicular arthrodesis. Here, we describe subtalar and talonavicular arthrodesis under arthroscopy via 2 lateral portals around the sinus tarsi.Level of evidence: IV.
