Abstract
Advancements in surgical techniques have broadened the use of arthroscopy as a viable alternative to open procedures in evaluating and treating common foot, ankle, and tendon injuries. These techniques can result in a shorter and more comfortable recovery, decreased postoperative pain, and fewer complications. This article discusses diagnostic and technical points in relation to advanced uses of the arthroscope.
