Key Points

This research aims to determine whether arthroscopically-assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) is more effective than percutaneous fixation for talar neck fractures.
Conducted a systematic review of studies ranging from level I to IV.
Included various studies assessing ARIF and percutaneous fixation techniques.
Analyzed outcomes related to fracture healing and complication rates.
ARIF demonstrated a lower complication rate compared to percutaneous fixation.
The data suggests enhanced functional recovery with ARIF.
Statistical significance was noted in healing times favoring ARIF.
