Varus malunion after subtalar arthrodesis is considered to be the worst deformity in hindfoot alignment. Poor clinical outcome is expected if there is more than 10° of varus malunion with lateral column overload. Open revision subtalar arthrodesis is associated with high rates of complications, especially involving soft tissue and nonunion. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the technical details of endoscopic revision subtalar arthrodesis in which the correction of varus malunion is performed with a minimally invasive technique, which may reduce the risk of soft tissue complications and nonunion.
