Endoscopic resection of tarsal coalitions is technically feasible for both talocalcaneal and calcaneonavicular coalitions. Careful consideration of each individual patient is necessary before proceeding with endoscopic resection. Endoscopic resection of these coalitions may offer benefits in terms of faster recovery and less wound problems, but this has not been proven. Several case reports and case series appear in the literature and are reviewed here along with the different techniques reported. Better-quality evidence is required to assess the clinically relevant benefits and the recurrence rate for endoscopic resection in comparison with open resection.
