Abstract
The subtalar joint is a complex joint that is functionally responsible for inversion and eversion of the hindfoot. Advances in optical technology and surgical instrumentation have allowed the arthorscocpic surgeon to investiagate the small joints including the subtalar joint. Indications for subtalar arthroscopy include pain, swelling, stiffness and locking. Therapeutic indications include treatment of chondromalacia, osteophytes, arthrofibrosis, synovitis, loose bodies, osteochondral lesions, excision of a painful os trigonum, arthrodesis, and FHL tendinopathy. Contraindications to subtalar arthroscopy include infection, advanced osteoarthritis with deformity, severe edema, poor vascularity and poor skin quality. Subtalar arthroscopy is a technically demanding and difficult procedure that should only be performed by experienced surgeons. With proper instrumentation and careful operative techniques, satisfactory results may be obtained with minimal morbidity.
