Abstract
Needle arthroscopy has transitioned from a limited diagnostic adjunct to a versatile tool in ankle surgery. Enabled by advancements in optics, fluid systems, and nano-instruments, this technique allows for effective diagnosis and treatment under local anesthesia. This review explores the evolution, technology, indications, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of needle arthroscopy in the ankle and discusses its implications for future orthopedic practice.
