Malunion of calcaneal fractures is a common complication after improper nonoperative treatment. It may develop into posttraumatic subtalar osteoarthritis, lateral calcaneal wall prominence, and severe foot deformities. This Technical Note reports the technical aspects of lateral endoscopic calcaneoplasty with posterior arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis for the treatment of malunited calcaneal fracture with lateral calcaneal wall prominence and posttraumatic subtalar osteoarthritis. This technique was chosen because it can reduce the risk of wound complication compared with a conventional lateral extensile approach. This Technical Note describes the use of the technique in a patient with prone position. This offers the advantages of easier access to the lateral surface of the calcaneus and posterior facet of the subtalar joint, and is less invasive to the soft tissue envelope on the lateral side of the foot. Moreover, the concomitant bone void area of the subtalar joint can be dealt with by an arthroscopic procedure.
