The posterior arthroscopic fusion of subtalar joint gives good results in terms of pain relief and functional scores when done for carefully selected patients of subtalar joint arthritis. Our slight modification of the original technique improves the ease of removing cartilage from subtalar joint with minimal height loss; thus, precluding any need for bone graft. It also makes the instrument movement easier inside the joint.
