Abstract
Kashin-Beck disease, severe traumatic osteoarthritis, degenerative osteoarthritis, and flatfoot with talonavicular arthritis often cause pain and dysfunction due to cartilage damage in ankle joint. Conventional open ankle arthrodesis was often chosen in patients with failure of conservative treatment. With the development of minimally invasive technology, ankle arthrodesis under arthroscopy shows many advantages when compared with traditional open surgery: less surgical trauma, clearer operative vision, no observational blind corner, less tissue invasion around the ankle, no loss of bone mass, and no interfere with local blood supply, which is conducive to the ankle joint fusion [1–2].
