Ankle Joint

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Arthroscopy

Background:

Athletes with hand and wrist injuries require prompt return to sport.
Arthroscopy provides direct visualization and minimally invasive treatment for joint issues.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the evaluation and arthroscopic management of common wrist injuries in athletes.
To highlight techniques for scapholunate and lunotriquetral injuries, TFCC tears, and hamatolunate impingement.

Main Methods:

Discussion of arthroscopic techniques for specific wrist injuries.
Review of evaluation and management strategies for athletes.

Main Results:

Arthroscopy allows direct visualization and treatment of intra-articular pathology.
Minimally invasive approaches facilitate quicker recovery for athletes.

Conclusions:

Arthroscopic surgery is a valuable tool for managing athletic wrist injuries.
This technique addresses ligamentous tears, TFCC injuries, impingement, and fractures effectively.
