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
Anatomy

Background:

Ankle impingement involves painful, limited range of motion due to abnormal bone or soft-tissue contact.
Diagnosis relies on clinical assessment, supplemented by imaging like X-rays and MRI to exclude other conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current understanding and management of ankle impingement.
To highlight advances in arthroscopic surgical techniques and outcomes.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature, focusing on diagnostic methods and surgical outcomes.
Analysis of evidence for arthroscopic versus open approaches.
Examination of recent developments in ankle impingement management.

Main Results:

Arthroscopic surgery demonstrates favorable short, mid, and long-term results for ankle impingement.
Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques enhance return-to-play times and lower complication rates compared to open surgery.
Recent advancements include long-term outcome data, new classification systems, and management strategies for associated injuries.

Conclusions:

Arthroscopic management is an effective treatment for ankle impingement, offering significant benefits over open procedures.
Ongoing research and technological advancements continue to refine surgical outcomes and patient recovery.
