“…2,7,8,10,12,13,14 Most series report a complication rate of 7% to 17%, with a third to half of these being superficial peroneal nerve injuries. 3 The deep peroneal nerve also is at risk during ankle arthroscopy.…”

“…Often the exact pathogenesis of sinus tarsi syndrome, first described by O'Connor in 1958, 18 relates to nonspecific pain and instability 19,20 in the sinus tarsi region, especially when walking on uneven surfaces. 21 The accuracy of labeling a person with sinus tarsi syndrome was questioned in a study by Frey et al, 22 in which 14 patients who had a preoperative diagnosis of sinus tarsi syndrome had their diagnosis changed postoperatively. Of the 14 patients, they found that 10 had tears of the interosseous ligament, 2 had arthrofibrosis, and 2 had degenerative joints.…”

The subtalar joint is complex. With the advent of smaller diameter arthroscopes, subtalar arthroscopy has become an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool for subtalar joint disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients who underwent arthroscopy for subtalar joint disorders using a 2.4-mm zero-degree arthroscope. In this prospective study, 6 patients who underwent subtalar arthroscopy from September 2008 to January 2009 in the authors' institution were included. The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot scores were recorded preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Mean +/- SD age was 45.5 +/- 16.2 years (range, 27.5-63.2). Postoperative diagnosis included arthrofibrosis, osteoarthritis, and osteochondral disease of the subtalar joint. Mean +/- SD AOFAS scores improved from 49.67 +/- 18.83 (range, 22-76) to 67.33 +/- 14.92 (range, 53-91) at 3 months (P = .03) and 75 +/- 19.74 (range, 54-100) at 6 months (P = .004). Subtalar arthroscopy using the 2.4-mm zero-degree arthroscope shows promising results in the diagnosis and treatment of subtalar pathologies. Patients have a significant improvement in their AOFAS hindfoot scores as early as 3 months and continue to improve subsequently. Usage of the zero-degree arthroscope allows the "instrumentation hand" to maneuver more easily in space and perform the operative procedure without getting in the way of the "camera hand." It can also save on inventory costs for centers that already have the zero-degree arthroscope. The role of specialized imaging is still unclear. Diagnosis of sinus tarsi syndrome should be historical with direct visualization of the joint revealing exact etiology.
