Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Severe ankle joint degeneration often limits treatment options.
  • Nonoperative management may be insufficient for symptomatic, high-demand individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review indications, contraindications, and techniques for arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis.
  • To compare outcomes of arthroscopic versus open ankle fusion.

Main Methods:

  • Review of arthroscopic ankle fusion procedures.
  • Comparison of arthroscopic and open ankle arthrodesis outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Arthroscopic ankle fusion is an effective technique for tibiotalar arthrodesis.
  • High rates of fusion and low complication rates are associated with arthroscopic ankle fusion.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis is a viable option for patients with severe ankle degeneration.
  • Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques can achieve successful ankle fusion with good outcomes.
