Description: Vinod K Panchbhavi, MD, FRCS, FACS 2008
Arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic technique for management of disorders of the ankle joint. The availability of fiberoptic arthroscopes, modern arthroscopic instrumentation, and ankle distraction techniques has allowed orthopedic surgeons to manage a variety of ankle disorders arthroscopically. Surgical procedures of the ankle performed arthroscopically are generally associated with lower morbidity, faster rehabilitation, and better cosmetic results as compared with conventional open surgical methods.
