Summary

Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis offers satisfactory outcomes with minimal postoperative pain for patients with hemophilia, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthrosis. This minimally invasive technique shows favorable results compared to open procedures regarding infection, pseudarthrosis, and healing time.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Ankle arthrodesis is a surgical procedure to fuse the ankle joint, often indicated for severe arthritis or deformity.
  • Traditional open arthrodesis can involve significant morbidity.
  • Arthroscopic techniques offer a less invasive alternative.

Observation:

  • Five patients underwent successful arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis.
  • Patient conditions included hemophilia (3), rheumatoid arthritis (1), and post-traumatic arthrosis (1).
  • Postoperative pain was notably minimal.

Findings:

  • Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis yielded satisfactory results in all five patients.
  • The procedure demonstrated favorable outcomes compared to open arthrodesis in literature reviews.

  • Key advantages include lower rates of infection, pseudarthrosis, and potentially shorter consolidation times.

    • Implications:

    • Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis is a viable and effective treatment option for various ankle pathologies.
    • The technique may reduce patient recovery time and improve overall surgical experience.
    • Further research comparing arthroscopic and open methods in larger cohorts is warranted.
