Abstract
Access to all areas of the ankle during arthroscopy is always problematic. The use of the correct portals and distraction increases access in both the supine and prone positions. Noninvasive distraction up to 30 pounds is safe and effective to perform arthroscopy in the supine position, and avoids the potential complications of pin distraction.
