Subtalar Joint Arthroscopy
Subtalar arthroscopy is being more commonly utilized by surgeons who perform foot and ankle arthroscopy. The joint can be entered from an anterior lateral or posterior approach. There is unique pathology in the joint that can be repaired through an arthroscopic approach. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Arthroscopic Lateral Stabilization
This article discusses two different approaches to repairing lateral ankle instability through an arthroscopic approach. The arthroscopic modified Brostrom procedure creates a strong repair with minimal soft tissue dissection, and is a reliable, minimally invasive approach to lateral ankle stabilization. The arthroscopic double ligament stabilization procedure creates a robust reconstruction of the anterior talofibular and calcaneal fibular ligaments with minimal soft tissue dissection.

Management of Subchondral Lesions in the Foot and Ankle
The treatment of subchondral lesions is an area with limited focus within the foot and ankle literature. The literature has shown an association between disruption of the subchondral bone plate and the formation of subchondral cysts. The primary causes of subchondral lesions are acute trauma, repetitive microtrauma, as well as idiopathic means. Evaluation of these injuries should be done carefully and often requires advanced imaging including MRI and computed tomography. Treatment does vary depending on the presentation of the subchondral lesion with or without the presence of an osteochondral lesion. (Source: Clinics in P...

Foot and Ankle Arthroscopy
It has been 12 years since I was the guest editor for Foot and Ankle Arthroscopy, in Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery. I have been involved with the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) Arthroscopy course for over 25 years and coauthored the ACFAS Arthroscopy e-book with Richard Derner. We continue to improve our skills while progressing our field. The articles in this issue are very different than they were 12 years ago. This demonstrates how far we truly have come. I don ’t believe that I would have ever considered using arthroscopy for total ankle replacement (TAR), trauma, or ankle instability...

Soft Tissue Pathology
A wide spectrum of pathologies can lead to soft tissue abnormalities within the ankle joint. Many of these disorders can develop into irreversible joint degeneration if left untreated. Arthroscopy is frequently used to treat these soft tissue conditions such as instability, synovitis, impingement, arthrofibrosis, and other inflammatory disorders in the rearfoot and ankle. In general, the etiology of these ankle soft tissue disorders can be classified as traumatic, inflammatory, and congenital/neoplastic. Overall, the goal of diagnosing and treating soft tissue pathologies of the ankle is to restore anatomic and physiologic...

Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis
Despite the increasing popularity of total ankle replacement, ankle arthrodesis remains the gold standard for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Historically, open techniques have been utilized for ankle arthrodesis. There have been many variations and techniques described, including transfibular, anterior, medial, and miniarthrotomy. Inherent disadvantages to these open techniques include postoperative pain, delayed or nonunion, wound complications, shortening, prolonged healing times, and prolonged hospital stays. Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis provides the foot and ankle surgeon with an alternative to the tradi...

Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus
Osteochondral lesions of the talus is common pathology that foot and ankle surgeons evaluate and treat. There is a variety of treatment modalities at the surgeon ’s disposal to repair these lesions, which include both open and arthroscopic surgical techniques. Although both open and arthroscopic techniques have a good success rate, there are still many debates and questions that surround this pathology. The goal of this article is to discuss some of the co mmon questions that we ask ourselves and other surgeons. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Arthroscopic Cartilage Transplantation
Arthroscopic cartilage repair has made several strides in recent years; however, no gold standard for cartilage restoration has been found. Simple treatment with bone marrow stimulation such as microfracture have shown good short-term results; however, concerns for long-term stability of cartilage repair as well as the subchondral bone health remain in question. Treatment of these lesions often comes down to surgeon preference, the aim of this study is to discuss some of the current options available on the market to further assist surgeons in their decision-making process.

Small Joint Arthroscopy of the Foot
Recently, there have been new advances in the arthroscopic approach to small joints of the foot. This is directly related to the improvement of surgical equipment, new techniques, and publications. These improvements led to broadening indications as well as minimizing complications. Several articles recently presented the uses of arthroscopic surgery in the small joints of the foot; however, the use is still relatively limited. Arthroscopic evaluation of the small joints of the foot includes the first metatarsophalangeal, lesser metatarsophalangeal, tarsometatarsal, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints as well as the i...

Arthroscopic Treatment of the Septic Ankle
Ankle joint sepsis is a relatively rare but potentially devastating pathologic process of the lower extremity that requires expeditious identification and management. Establishing the diagnosis of ankle joint sepsis is often challenging as it may present with concomitant pathologies and often lacks consistency in regard to classic clinical characteristics. Once a diagnosis has been established, prompt management is imperative to minimize the potential for long-term sequelae. The purpose of this chapter is to address the diagnosis and management of the septic ankle with a focus on arthroscopic treatment. (Source: Clinics in...

Surgical Considerations for Revision Flatfoot Reconstruction
Reconstructive surgery of the symptomatic pes planus deformity is a very common procedure with relatively good outcomes. Many factors such as patient selection, patient expectations, and surgical execution can influence the results. In addition to achieving osseous union, the overall postoperative alignment is critical in determining functional outcome. Specifically, under- and over-correction respectively present their own unique problems and symptomatology. The purpose of this review is to discuss the adverse outcomes after mal-reduction of flatfoot reconstruction and emphasize the strategies to correct the subsequent de...
