Overview of Ankle Joint Surgery
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery used to treat problems inside the ankle joint. Surgeons use a small camera and special instruments inserted through tiny cuts to see and repair the joint. This surgery helps reduce pain, improve movement, and speed up recovery.
How Ankle Arthroscopy is Performed
During ankle arthroscopy, a surgeon makes small incisions around the ankle to insert an arthroscope and thin surgical tools. The arthroscope is a tiny camera that provides a clear view inside the joint on a monitor. Surgeons can then remove damaged tissue, smooth rough cartilage, or repair ligaments. Saline fluid is often used to expand the joint for better visibility. Advanced instruments like shavers and radiofrequency devices allow precise treatment of affected areas. This technique is less invasive than open surgery and usually results in faster healing and fewer complications.
Common Health Issues Requiring This Surgery
- To treat chronic ankle pain caused by cartilage damage.
- To remove loose bone or cartilage fragments inside the joint.
- To repair torn or weakened ligaments.
- To treat ankle impingement, which restricts joint movement.
- To manage joint inflammation or infection not improving with other treatments.
