This paper presents the application of arthroscopic arthrodesis of ankles with marked deformity.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    : The results of 78 consecutive cases of arthroscopic ankle arthrodeses, performed in 74 patients, were retrospectively evaluated. Forty-eight ankles had minor deformity (group A), whereas 30 ankles had a varus or valgus deformity of more than 15 degrees (maximum 45 degrees) (group B). The average hospital stay was 3.8 and 3.4 days in groups A and B, respectively (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.74). Postoperative treatment included ankle immobilization for 3 months. Progressive weightbearing was initiated at 2 weeks. Mean followup was 21.1 months.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Fusion occurred in 47 of 48 (97.9%) ankles in group A at an average time of 13.1 \u00b1 5.8 weeks and in 29 of 30 (96.7%) ankles at 11.6 \u00b1 2.4 weeks in group B (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.19). Unplanned operative procedures were required in 11 ankles (14.1%). One superficial wound infection occurred. Symptomatic arthritis from the adjacent joints developed in six ankles (7.7%). Postoperative ankle alignment in the frontal plane averaged 0.7 and 0.4 degrees of valgus (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.41), whereas the sagittal plane angle averaged 106 \u00b1 4 degrees and 104.5 \u00b1 7 degrees in groups A and B, respectively (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.22). The outcome was graded as very good in 79.2% (38 feet) in group A and 80% (24 feet) in group B, fair in 18.8% (9 feet) in group A and 16.7% (5 feet) in group B and poor in one ankle in each group (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.68).\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    : The arthroscopic technique offered high fusion rates and low morbidity.
