  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Arthroscopic visualization of the ankle presents significant challenges.
  • Limited visibility can hinder surgical precision and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel distraction technique for ankle arthroscopy.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of this new method in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • A new distraction technique was developed for ankle arthroscopy.
  • The technique was applied to a cohort of 131 patients undergoing ankle arthroscopic procedures.

Main Results:

  • The distraction technique significantly improved visualization of the ankle joint.
  • The procedure was associated with few and minor complications.
