  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Ankle arthroscopy requires joint distraction for optimal visualization.
  • Existing noninvasive traction methods can be complex or costly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple, noninvasive technique for ankle arthroscopy.
  • To present a modification of a previously established noninvasive ankle distraction method.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes a simple gauze roll for noninvasive ankle traction.
  • Details a modification of an existing noninvasive distraction technique.

Main Results:

  • The described technique is simple and noninvasive.
  • An inexpensive gauze roll can be effectively used for ankle distraction.
