Abstract

Tarsal coalition has an incidence between 2-5% of the general population, and calcaneonavicular is the most frequent (53%). When conservative treatment fails, surgical resection must be indicated. Endoscopic resection is a less invasive technique and can be considered an alternative with better functional recovery. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective study of the patients with calcaneonavicular coalition operated in our hospital between 2015 and 2018. We performed an endoscopic resection. We used AOFAS scale score for the results. Results: We reviewed seven cases for a minimum of 12 months. AOFAS score improved from 42 before surgery to 92. There were no major complications from surgery. We had a patient with dysesthesias in the forefoot that improved at 3 months and a case of local swelling that solved with ice and rest. Conclusions: Endoscopic resection has advantages over open surgery. Offers a great vision and good control of the coalition resection, provides an early rehabilitation, decrease hospital stay, improves cosmetic results and the probability of neuroma is minimum with an adequate control of the technique. © 2020 SECOT
