CliniCal TeChniqueforward. 8 The complications of the open technique include skin necrosis, altered sensation, poor cosmetic look, scar tenderness, Achilles tendon injury and stiffness (Fig. 5). 9ndoscopic surgery for the tibialis posterior tendon, peroneal tendons, and Achilles tendon favors the outcome of reducing morbidity, postoperative pain and early rehabilitation compared to open surgery. 10In 1991, van Dijk et al. did an endoscopic resection of posterior superolateral calcaneum for 20 patients and named it "endoscopic calcaneoplasty." 11Endoscopic calcaneoplasty has since gained focus due to its advantage over traditional surgery (Fig. 6).It is evolving to improve the surgical outcomes and has started to replace the open technique.The aim of our study is to present the outcomes and describe a novel method of endoscopic calcaneoplasty.
