title: Arthroscopic revision of nonunion of calcaneocuboid distraction arthrodesis.
abstract: Calcaneocuboid distraction arthrodesis is one of the common surgical procedures for correction of flatfoot deformity. Nonunion of the arthrodesis site is a significantly well-known complication of this procedure. Revision arthrodesis is indicated especially if the nonunion is symptomatic. Classically, this is performed openly with removal of the implants, refreshment of the fusion sites, bone grafting and revision fixation. We reported, a case of nonunion of the calcaneocuboid arthrodesis, which was successfully treated with arthroscopic revision arthrodesis. Removal of the implant and revision fixation was not needed.
