Ankle Anthroscopy

Ankle Anthroscopy

Many ankle problems can now be managed arthroscopically. This means putting a camera and small instruments such as shavers into the joint through two small incisions either anteriorly or posteriorly. One of the advantages of an arthroscopy compared to a traditional open procedure is the smaller incisions often mean less soft tissue damage and a quicker recovery.

One of the commonest indications for an ankle arthroscopy is either bony or soft tissue impingement.
