Abstract:
The application of arthroscopy is becoming increasingly widespread due to the development of surgical instruments and techniques. Subtalar pathology can cause chronic pain in the hindfoot, but it is often misdiagnosed as a lesion of the adjacent ankle joint, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Subtalar arthroscopy and posterior endoscopy are good methods to confirm and treat the posterior pathology of the subtalar joint and posterior ankle joint.
