Keeping in mind that medial soft tissue reconstruction alone has not proved enough as an isolated procedure and that osteotomies and arthrodesis are considered more invasive surgery, arthroereisis is a quick, easy, and reproducible technique that seems to have good results without major complications in the correct patient. Indications, biomechanical principles, and technique are described in this article.
