Arthroscopic ankle fusion is a safe and effective procedure, causing less patient harm than open surgery. Most patients underwent outpatient procedures with successful fusion outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Traditional open ankle fusion presents significant patient morbidity.
  • Advancements in surgical techniques are sought to improve patient outcomes and recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of arthroscopic ankle fusion.
  • To compare patient morbidity between arthroscopic and open ankle fusion procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of patients undergoing arthroscopic ankle fusion at Hartford Hospital.
  • Assessment of fusion success rates and complication data.

Main Results:

  • Arthroscopic ankle fusion demonstrated a high success rate, with 13 out of 15 ankles achieving successful arthrodesis.

  • The procedure was associated with significantly lower patient morbidity compared to traditional open methods.
  • The majority of patients (11 out of 15) were treated as outpatients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic ankle fusion is a safe and effective alternative to open procedures.
    • This minimally invasive approach offers reduced patient morbidity and facilitates outpatient treatment.
    • The findings support the wider adoption of arthroscopic techniques for ankle fusion.
