  • Title: Arthroscopy of Foot and Ankle: Subtalar Joint Arthroscopy in Intra-articular Calcaneal Fractures.
    Author: Hollawell S, Coleman M, Yancovitz S.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2023 Jul; 40(3):519-528. PubMed ID: 37236688.
    Abstract:
    The utilization of subtalar joint arthroscopy in intra-articular calcaneal fractures provides optimal visualization of articular surfaces for a more precise anatomical reduction, thus yielding better surgical outcomes. Current literature shows good functional and radiographic outcomes, fewer wound complications, and low incidence of post-traumatic arthritis with this technique than when utilizing an isolated lateral extensile incision of the calcaneus. As subtalar joint arthroscopy continues to grow in popularity and technological advancement, patients may benefit when surgeons incorporate this tool in conjunction with a minimally invasive technique for treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
