A case of osteophyte excision and arthroscopic arthrodesis for tarsal tunnel syndrome with traumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle

Abstract

Highlights We successfully treated tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) accompanied with traumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle. Osteophyte excision for the TTS and arthroscopic for the osteoarthritis was effective for even TTS with traumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle. There were many advantages in arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis, compared with open ankle arthrodesis.
