“…1,5 However, several studies have suggested that subtalar joint fusion can lead to asymptomatic tarsal bone arthritis, degeneration, and limited joint motion. 6 Various types of incisions are currently used for subtalar joint arthrodesis, including lateral incisions such as an arc incision across the tarsal sinus, an oblique incision from the lateral malleolus point to the fourth metatarsal, and the traditional L-shaped incision. 5,7 Selection of the most appropriate incision is based on any previous surgeries, the soft tissue condition, and any internal diseases.…”

Objective This study was performed to introduce a new method of minimally invasive subtalar arthrodesis (MISA) and assess its clinical effects on traumatic subtalar arthritis (TSA). Methods Fifteen patients (8 male and 7 female; age range, 36–56 years; mean age, 48.67 years) with TSA who underwent MISA were included. All patients were treated using a series instrument. The intraoperative and postoperative indexes were recorded. Results Among all patients, the mean operation time was 59.67 ± 16.31 minutes and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 43.33 ± 52.87 mL. Four patients underwent iliac crest bone graft surgery, and one patient developed a complication involving fat liquefaction of the iliac crest wound. The mean bony fusion time among all patients was 3.5 months. According to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society standard, an excellent outcome was obtained in eight patients and a good outcome was obtained in seven patients. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly different between patients who did and did not undergo iliac crest bone graft surgery. Conclusion MISA is a simple and effective method for the treatment of TSA.

“…Radiographic measurements help to identify malalignment of the hindfoot that needs to be addressed at the time of surgery 5 . In addition to hindfoot malalignment, it is important to look for loss of calcaneal height and a change in the talar inclination 6 . A decreased talar declination angle causes anterior ankle impingement, which will ultimately result in ankle arthritis 7 .…”
