- Ankle Arthroscopy
Ankle arthroscopy can be performed under general anesthesia or with spinal anesthesia, which numbs the legs. This procedure allows for a complete visualization of the ankle joint to treat various issues. Depending on the treatment and rehabilitation required, patients may be discharged the same day or might need to stay in the hospital for a few days.
Is Ankle Arthroscopy Necessary?
For most ankle conditions, physical therapy is typically the first line of treatment. However, if the ankle remains stiff, painful, or experiences locking, surgery may be required.
What Happens During Ankle Arthroscopy?
Ankle arthroscopy is used to thoroughly visualize the joint. It is often performed to remove loose bodies that cause locking. The procedure can also diagnose and treat cartilage injuries and osteochondral fractures. Painful bone spurs around the ankle can be removed using this technique. The surgery usually takes about an hour, and patients can either be discharged the same day or may need a short hospital stay, depending on their recovery and physiotherapy needs.
