Abstract

Arthroscopic treatment of anterior ankle pain shows good results, with high patient satisfaction and low complication rates. Anterior pain with ankle hyperdorsiflexion, restriction of dorsiflexion, and swelling, particularly in a soccer player or ballet dancer, is a classic presentation. Ankle anterior impingement is common in athletes and could be under-recognized.
