The Sinus Tarsi Approach to Orthopaedic Surgery

The goals of this approach is to restore congruity of the sub-tailor joint, restore bowlers angle and calcaneal height. Note that bone grafting provides no added benefit in these cases. A minimally invasive incision minimizes soft tissue dissection. This reduces wound complications associated with an extensile lateral incision. There is a lower incidence of sural nerve neuralgia,. The same incision can be utilized for secondary sub- Tailor arthradesis or perineal tendon abreement.
