Abstract:

Because of the problems inherent in arthroscopic visualization of the ankle, a new distraction technique has been devised to help overcome them. This technique has been used on 131 cases with few and relatively minor complications. It has greatly facilitated visualization of the ankle, and it is now possible to perform certain surgical procedures effectively and safely.
