Subtalar joint arthrodesis: open and arthroscopic indications and surgical techniques

Brent Roster et al. Foot Ankle Clin. 2015 Jun.

Abstract

Arthrodesis of the subtalar joint can be performed via both open and arthroscopic techniques. Both groups of procedures have their own relative indications and contraindications, as well as complications. Good results have been reported for both general procedures, although some studies suggest superiority with arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis.

Keywords: Arthrodesis; Arthroscopy; Hindfoot; Joint; Subtalar.
