Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle arthroscopy is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure that enables our specialists to diagnose and treat a wide range of ankle conditions with exceptional precision. By inserting a small camera and slender surgical instruments through tiny incisions, we can clearly view the inside of the ankle joint and address problem areas without the need for large surgical openings. This advanced technique typically results in less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, and a quicker return to daily activities.

When Is Ankle Arthroscopy Recommended?

Many patients benefit from ankle arthroscopy, whether they are dealing with:

  • Persistent ankle pain

  • Sports-related injuries

  • Instability or stiffness

  • Cartilage damage

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Degenerative joint conditions

Before recommending any procedure, our team performs a detailed evaluation—reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and imaging studies—to create a treatment plan specifically tailored to your unique needs.

What Happens During the Procedure?

During ankle arthroscopy, your surgeon gently inserts a tiny camera (arthroscope) into the ankle joint. This allows us to identify and treat the exact source of your symptoms. Depending on what we find, treatment may include:

  • Removing loose bone or cartilage fragments

  • Repairing torn ligaments or tendons

  • Smoothing damaged cartilage surfaces

  • Addressing scar tissue or inflammation

  • Enhancing joint alignment and function

Our primary goals are to relieve pain, restore joint stability, and help you regain full, comfortable mobility.
