Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis offers significant socioeconomic benefits, including early return to work and high patient satisfaction. This demanding procedure shows excellent long-term results for fusion and patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis is a surgical technique for fusing the subtalar joint.
  • The procedure presents unique challenges due to limited joint access and instrumentation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes and benefits of arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis.
  • To assess patient satisfaction, fusion rates, and postoperative recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Performing a technically demanding arthroscopic procedure requiring advanced skills.
  • Utilizing specialized, small instrumentation for joint access.
  • Considering in situ fusion for deformities without correction.

Main Results:

  • Significant socioeconomic advantages, including early weight-bearing and return to work.

  • High patient satisfaction and comfort, with minimal need for pain medication.
  • Excellent results in fusion rates, time to union, and low postoperative morbidity.
  • Successful same-day discharge and tolerance of postoperative regimens.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis is a viable and effective procedure with excellent outcomes.
    • The technique demonstrates long-term success in patient satisfaction and fusion.
    • Advancements in technology and technique recognition will further mature this procedure.
