Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis is increasingly favored for its superior outcomes.
Evidence shows over 90% bone fusion rates with arthroscopic techniques.
Compared to open surgery, arthroscopy offers quicker healing and fewer complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe two distinct arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis techniques.
To highlight the specific characteristics and patient positioning for each method.

Main Methods:

Description of the lateral decubitus technique with lateral portals.
Description of the prone position technique utilizing posterior portals.

Main Results:

Both techniques aim for successful bone fusion in subtalar joint arthrodesis.
The study focuses on the procedural details rather than quantitative results.

Conclusions:

Arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis is a viable and effective surgical option.
Understanding the nuances of different arthroscopic techniques is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
