Abstract

Subtalar joint pathology is mainly characterized by ankle pain on weight bearing specifically on uneven ground and traditionally was treated by open surgery following a failed conservative treatment regime. However, with the introduction of minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery and with the enhancements of specified instruments nowadays, most pathologies around the subtalar joint can be treated arthroscopically.
