The development of good quality small-diametered arthroscopes and refined arthroscopic techniques has contributed to the improvement of the subtalar arthroscopy. The therapeutic indications are synovectomy, removal of loose bodies, debridement and drilling of osteochondritis dissecans, excision of subtalar impingement lesions and osteophytes, lysis of adhesions for post-traumatic arthrofibrosis, removal of a symptomatic os trigonum, calcaneal fracture assessment and reduction, and arthroscopic arthrodesis of the subtalar joint. The subtalar arthroscopy can be done in supine position using thigh holder or in lateral decubitus position. The arthroscope generally used is a 2.7-mm 30 degrees short arthroscope. Noninvasive distraction with a strap around the hindfoot can be helpful. Usually anterolateral, middle and posterolateral portals are utilized for inspection and instrumentation within the joint. Twoportal posterior subtalar arthroscopy in prone position can be performed as well with 4.0-mm 30 degrees arthroscope, depending on the type and location of the subtalar pathology. The subtalar arthroscopy is a technically demanding procedure, which requires proper instrumentation and careful operative technique. Possible complications are nerve damage and persistent wound drainage.

The subtalar joint is a complex joint that is functionally responsible for inversion and eversion of the hindfoot. Advances in optical technology and surgical instrumentation have allowed the arthorscocpic surgeon to investiagate the small joints including the subtalar joint. Indications for subtalar arthroscopy include pain, swelling, stiffness and locking. Therapeutic indications include treatment of chondromalacia, osteophytes, arthrofibrosis, synovitis, loose bodies, osteochondral lesions, excision of a painful os trigonum, arthrodesis, and FHL tendinopathy. Contraindications to subtalar arthroscopy include infection, advanced osteoarthritis with deformity, severe edema, poor vascularity and poor skin quality. Subtalar arthroscopy is a technically demanding and difficult procedure that should only be performed by experienced surgeons. With proper instrumentation and careful operative techniques, satisfactory results may be obtained with minimal morbidity.

Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures are difficult to treat because of complex anatomy and high soft tissue complications. Various surgical approaches have been introduced to solve these problems, but the treatment remains complex. Recently, clinically and radiographically superior results were reported using a subtalar arthroscopy in reducing the posterior facet in both percutaneous and open approaches. In the percutaneous approach, the arthroscopically assistant percutaneous approach must be selected carefully for mild-to-moderately displaced fractures because of the limited view. In the open approach, there is little evidence of the utility of subtalar arthroscopy. Therefore, intraoperative arthroscopy should always be used in conjunction with fluoroscopy to achieve reduction and assess the internal fixation placement.

목적: 저자들은 각종 질환이나 외상에 대해 거골하 관절경술을 시행한 환자를 대상으로 그 결과를 분석하여 거골하 관절경의 적응증과 그 유용성에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년 9월부터 2005년 8월까지 본원에서 거골하 관절경을 시행하고 1년 이상 추시가 가능하였던 54명, 57예를 대상으로 하였다. 환자의 성별은 남자 43예, 여자 14예였고, 평균 연령은 40세, 평균 추시 기간은 18개월이었다. 술전 진단은 족근 동 증후군 19예, 퇴행성 관절염 13예, 종골 골절 10예, 관절 섬유화 5예, 삼각골 증후군 3예, 거골 골절 3예, 거종 결합 3예, 종골 종양 1예였다. 결과의 분석은 술전 및 술후 AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale과 환자의 만족도를 조사하여 평가하였으며 그 외 거골하 관절경술로 인한 합병증의 유무를 조사하였다. 결과: 관절경술은 활액막 절제술 23예, 거골하 관절 유합술 13예, 진단적 관절경술 11예, 유착 박리술 5예, 유리체 제거술 4예, 삼각골 제거술 3예, 관절경적 골절 정복술 1예가 시행되었으며 이중 4예에서 두 가지 수술이 병행되었다. 동반된 질환으로는 족관절의 충돌 증후군이 17예, 만성 족관절 불안정성이 11예, 거골의 골연골 병변이 7예 관찰되었으며, 이에 대해 족관절 관절경술 25예, 변형 Brostrom 수술 11예 등의 동반 술식이 시행되었다. AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale은 거골하 관절 유합술을 시행한 군에서는 술전 33점에서 술후 77점으로 향상되었으며, 그 이외의 군에서는 술전 69점에서 술후 89점으로 향상되었다. 환자의 만족도는 42예에서 만족, 4예에서 불만족을 표시하여 91%의 만족도를 나타내었으며 특별한 합병증은 발견되지 않았다. 결론: 적절한 적응증에 대해 시행한 거골하 관절경술은 관절에 대한 손상을 가능한 줄이면서 병변을 정확하게 치료할 수 있는 장점을 가진 유용한 술식이나 기법의 숙달을 위한 노력 이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: Sinus tarsi syndrome (STS) is caused by various pathologies. However, the exact etiology of STS remains controversial. This study evaluated the imaging and arthroscopic findings of patients who underwent surgical treatment after conservative treatment for STS failed. Materials and Methods: Between December 2014 and August 2018, 20 patients (21 cases) who underwent surgical treatment for STS were included in the study. The clinical results were analyzed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot functional scale. The radiographic results were analyzed using Meary's angle, calcaneal pitch angle, and hindfoot alignment angle. The pathologic conditions of sinus tarsi were confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and subtalar arthroscopy. Synovitis, bone edema, and accessory anterolateral talar facet (AALTF) were evaluated on MRI. Synovial thickening, cartilage damage, interosseous talocalcaneal ligament (ITCL) and cervical ligament rupture, soft tissue impingement, AALTF, and accessory talar facet impingement (ATFI) were evaluated by subtalar arthroscopy. Results: The mean duration of symptoms was 28.7 months (4~120). All patients showed significant improvement in the VAS and AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale. Significant improvements in hindfoot alignment angle and Meary's angle postoperatively were noted in patients who underwent medial displacement calcaneal osteotomy. MRI confirmed synovitis in all patients, AALTF in 19 cases (90.5%), and ATFI with bone edema in seven cases (33.3%). In subtalar arthroscopy, pathologic conditions were observed in the following order: synovitis in 21 cases (100%), AALTF in 20 cases (95.2%), ITCL partial rupture in nine cases (42.9%), and soft tissue impingement in seven cases (33.3%). All cases had two or more pathological conditions, and 15 (71.4%) had three or more. Conclusion: In cases of STS that do not respond to conservative treatment, a comprehensive examination of the lesions of the tarsal sinus and lesions around the subtalar joint is essential.
