Ankle Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that uses a pencil-sized instrument to allow your surgeon to transmit images from inside your ankle onto a screen. Arthroscopy can be used both to diagnose a joint problem and to remove or repair damaged tissue.

You may need ankle arthroscopy if you have debris in your ankle from torn cartilage or from a bone chip. Also, if there is ligament damage from a severely sprained ankle, arthroscopy can help determine the extent of damage and possibly to repair it.
