Increased use of arthroscopically assisted techniques for the treatment of ankle fractures has been reported. Despite their rapid development, there is only one systematic review regarding arthroscopically assisted treatment of ankle fractures, in which, however, only malleolar fracture studies are included. Various other types of ankle fractures have also been treated with arthroscopically assisted procedures. The purpose of this review was to identify and evaluate the existing literature about arthroscopically assisted surgical management of other types of foot and ankle fractures, such as Tillaux, pilon, Bosworth, talar, and calcaneal fractures. A systematic review was conducted until December 2022 using the Arksey and O'Malley framework and reported according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews). Three databases—PubMed, Elsevier Scopus, and Cochrane Library—were searched for relevant studies. The chosen studies were divided into groups according to the fracture type. Of the 424 initially identified studies, 36 were finally included in the review: 22 case reports or case series and 14 original retrospective cohort studies. Participant demographic characteristics; methods of arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation; and clinical, radiologic, and patient-reported outcomes were extracted. Arthroscopically assisted techniques for the treatment of Tillaux, pilon, Bosworth, talar, and calcaneal fractures are effective procedures and have already shown satisfactory and promising clinical and radiologic outcomes. There are some limitations in their use though, especially in some specific fracture patterns. Long-term effects and possible superiority of arthroscopically assisted techniques over classic reduction and fixation must be further studied.
