Review
Treatment of calcaneal fractures has to be tailored to the individual pathoanatomy. If operative treatment is chosen, anatomic reconstruction of the calcaneal shape and joint surfaces is mandatory. For most of the displaced, intraarticular fractures, this can be achieved by less invasive reduction and fixation via a sinus tarsi approach, which may be extended along the "lateral utility" line for calcaneocuboid joint involvement or calcaneal fracture-dislocations. Purely percutaneous fixation is the treatment of choice for displaced extraarticular fractures and simple intraarticular fractures with adequate control of joint reduction. Specific approaches are used for rare calcaneal fracture variants.

Review
A triple arthrodesis is comprised of subtalar, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints arthrodesis. A pantalar arthrodesis is triple arthrodesis combined with tibiotalar arthrodesis. The goal of the procedure is to obtain a correction of deformity and achieve a plantigrade, functional, painless, stable, weightbearing foot that can be used to ambulate. This is done by creating an osseous continuity across the ankle, subtalar, and talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints. There are several approaches and fixation strategies that result in successful clinical union and should be chosen to match the clinical situation. Modern techniques result in high rates of union and pain relief.

Review
Subtalar arthroscopy is being more commonly utilized by surgeons who perform foot and ankle arthroscopy. The joint can be entered from an anterior lateral or posterior approach. There is unique pathology in the joint that can be repaired through an arthroscopic approach.
