Arthroscopic Targeted Screw Placement: A Minimally Invasive Approach for Hindfoot Fractures.

ABSTRACT: Arthroscopic techniques have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional open reduction internal fixation in the treatment of foot and ankle fractures, offering minimally invasive methods to address intra-articular fractures. These techniques provide direct visualization of the fracture site while preserving the soft tissue envelope and osseous blood supply, mitigating risks associated with open surgical approaches such as infection, malunion, and soft tissue complications. This Technical Note highlights the surgical technique and applications of arthroscopic targeted screw placement (ATSP) for talus fractures, trimalleolar ankle fractures, and distal tibia fractures. Utilizing preoperative imaging for surgical planning, the procedure involves arthroscopic reduction, debridement, and
