Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle arthroscopy is a modern, minimally invasive surgical method that transforms the treatment of ankle problems. Unlike traditional open surgery, it ensures quicker recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring. Moreover, this advanced approach effectively manages several ankle conditions.

• Osteochondral defect of talus bone: Surgeons use this procedure to directly diagnose and repair cartilage as well as bone damage inside the ankle joint.

• Anterior ankle impingement: Patients who face pain and stiffness in the front of the ankle often benefit because doctors can remove excess bone growth or scar tissue safely.

• Posterior ankle impingement: In a similar way, issues at the back of the joint that restrict movement can also be corrected with precision.

• Synovitis: When the joint lining becomes inflamed, surgeons relieve symptoms by visualizing and removing the affected tissue.

• Loose bodies: Fragments inside the ankle that trigger pain, swelling, or joint locking are identified and cleared during the procedure.

• Infection: Doctors clean and debride infected tissue thoroughly, which helps prevent further complications.

• Arthritis: For patients with early arthritis, surgeons use lavage and tissue removal to reduce discomfort and improve mobility.

• Arthrofibrosis: Excess scar tissue causes stiffness, but doctors release these adhesions to restore better joint function.

• Unexplained ankle pain: If other tests fail to explain symptoms, this technique allows direct visualization of the joint, which often leads to accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
