Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle Arthroscopy Surgery

Ankle Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses specialized small instruments along with a fiber-optic camera system to visualize and treat conditions within the ankle joint. During the surgery, the orthopedic surgeon makes two or three tiny incisions around the ankle through which instruments—typically less than 4 mm in diameter—are inserted. This advanced technique eliminates the need for large, open incisions, resulting in significantly reduced pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.

Ankle Arthroscopy is highly effective in managing a wide range of ankle conditions caused by trauma, inflammation, degenerative changes, and, in some cases, neoplastic disorders.

At My Ortho Centre, we offer arthroscopic treatment for various ankle joint conditions, including:
