Arthroscopically assisted treatment of ankle injuries

Ankle arthroscopy is a valuable tool in the treatment of certain intra-articular fractures involving the ankle, as it provides the ability to address osteochondral injury and aids in the direct visualization for joint reduction through minimal intervention. It can sometimes be complimented by a more minimally invasive approach to fracture reduction and internal fixation. It should be noted that to perform arthroscopically assisted minimally invasive fracture approaches, the surgeon must have significant experience with traditional open techniques.
