Arthroscopic Subtalar Arthrodesis: Does the Type of Fixation Modify Outcomes?

The goal of the present study was to analyze a modified American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale score, time to union, and the incidence of fusion after isolated arthroscopic posterior subtalar arthrodesis using either 1 or 2 screws of different diameters. We reviewed a consecutive series of 65 patients, mean age 50.0 ± 15.

Subtalar arthroscopic arthrodesis: Technique and outcomes.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to describe the surgical technique and our results with arthroscopic posterior subtalar arthrodesis.

Material And Methods: Retrospective case series of 65 patients (38 men and 27 women) averaging 50 years of age (range 21-72 years) undergoing posterior arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis using one or two percutaneous 6.5-7.

Results of Arthroscopic Subtalar Arthrodesis for Adult-Acquired Flatfoot Deformity vs Posttraumatic Arthritis.

Background: The goal of this study was to compare results with arthroscopic posterior subtalar arthrodesis between patients treated for adult-acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) due to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and patients with posttraumatic subtalar arthritis.

Methods: Retrospective case series of 61 consecutive patients (group 1: posttraumatic arthritis, n = 37; group 2: AAFD, n = 24) averaging 49 years of age (range, 21-72 years) undergoing posterior arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis via 1 or 2 percutaneous 6.5- to 7.
