    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rheumatology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Ankle joint conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and traumatic arthritis, can significantly impact mobility.
    • Arthroscopic synovectomy is a minimally invasive surgical option for managing inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the outcomes of arthroscopy or arthroscopic synovectomy in treating ankle joint pathologies.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of ankle arthroscopy for various types of arthritis.

    Main Methods:

    • A review of 31 ankle joint arthroscopies or synovectomies performed on 24 patients.
    • Follow-up duration ranged from 2 to 10 months, averaging 6 months.

    Main Results:

    • For 26 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, outcomes were: 19.2% excellent, 30.8% good, 26.9% fair, and 23.6% poor.
    • For three traumatic arthritis cases, one was good and two were fair.
    • For tuberculous synovitis and chronic pyogenic arthritis (one case each), results were good and fair, respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • Ankle arthroscopy and synovectomy demonstrate variable effectiveness across different etiologies of ankle arthritis.
    • The study discusses the operative procedure, indications, value, and advantages of ankle arthroscopy.
