Abstract
Large talar cystic lesions located in the posterior talus can be treated by retrograde drilling through the posterior talar process. By means of a two-portal endoscopic approach of the hindfoot with the patient in the prone position, it is possible to visualize, debride, and graft these large cystic lesions. In this chapter, the etiology and treatment options are mentioned. The operative technique is described by means of two case reports.
