Abstract

Arthroscopic examination of the ankle joint permits complete examination of the intra-articular structures. With recent advances in equipment and additional experience, numerous ankle problems can be handled arthroscopically. These problems include treatment of soft-tissue and bony impingement, osteochondral lesions of the talus, removal of loose bodies, treatment of acute and chronic fractures, lateral ankle stabilization, and arthroscopic fusion procedures.
