Abstract:

Arthroscopy of the foot and ankle is a valuable tool for treating athletic foot injuries. The ability to evaluate and treat injuries without an extensive open approach is very important when dealing with the athletic population, allowing a much quicker rehabilitation and return to sport. The diagnostic and therapeutic indications for foot and ankle arthroscopy have increased significantly over recent years. Techniques and instrumentation have become more advanced and more readily available to the orthopaedist. This article defines the conditions in which arthroscopy is appropriate and presents current techniques for treatment.
