The arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis is one of the good method of the ankle arthrodesis. Mechanical distraction of tibiotalar joint is an absolute necessity for adeuate visualization and operative instrumentation. However, there are several disadvantages. Thus we performed arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis using calcaneal traction in three cases and achieved following results. 1. The procedure is easy and the operation time is sharter than the other arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis. 2. The risk of neurovascular damage and infection is reduced hy using calcaneal traction. 3. It does not require the expensive distraction device. 4. The adequate visualization for operative instrumentation is obtained.
