Abstract:
An increased interest in ankle instability has led to description of new concepts such as ankle microinstability or rotational ankle instability and the development of new arthroscopic techniques treating ankle instability. Ankle instability is constantly associated to intraarticular pathologies that contribute to generate pain and dysfunction. Arthroscopy plays an important role in identifying and treating all intraarticular abnormalities including ligament injuries. Despite a few studies are available in literature on arthroscopic treatment of medial collateral ligament injury, an arthroscopic all-inside repair of lateral and medial ankle ligaments has been proposed showing promising clinical results.
