ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Prone ankle and subtalar arthroscopy is challenging in part due to the limited working space in these joints. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Fourteen patients undergoing prone posterior arthroscopy with a novel skeletal traction method were reviewed and the technique detailed.RESULTS:
No complications were observed in 14 patients treated with a minimally invasive skeletal traction technique for prone ankle and subtalar arthroscopy and 38 patients treated with the same traction device during supine ankle arthroscopy.CONCLUSION:
Minimally invasive skeletal traction can be used safely for prone posterior ankle and subtalar arthroscopy.
