Ankle arthroscopy is a key diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for various ankle conditions. Advances in technique and equipment are expanding its indications for improved patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Ankle arthroscopy is increasingly utilized for both diagnosis and treatment.
  • Established indications include fractures, synovitis, and impingement syndromes.
  • Diagnostic arthroscopy is reserved for chronic ankle pain unresponsive to conservative care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the current indications for ankle arthroscopy.
  • To describe the standard arthroscopic approach to the ankle joint.
  • To discuss emerging technologies and future directions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practice guidelines.
  • Description of three standard arthroscopic portals for ankle examination.
  • Discussion of adjunctive techniques like mechanical distraction.

Main Results:

  • Ankle arthroscopy effectively diagnoses and treats conditions such as talar dome fractures, synovitis, and loose bodies.
  • Standard portals allow comprehensive visualization and intervention.
  • Mechanical distraction aids visualization in challenging cases.

Conclusions:

  • Ankle arthroscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating a range of ankle pathologies.
  • Continued advancements in techniques and technology are expected to broaden its applications.
  • The role of lasers in ankle arthroscopy requires further definition.
