Surgery through small incisions with a camera, to see inside the ankle joint and treat what is found there.
What Ankle Arthroscopy Treats
Ankle Arthroscopy uses a small camera, passed into the joint through an incision a few millimeters long, to show the inside of the ankle on a screen. Small instruments passed through other incisions then treat what the camera finds. It is used for problems inside the joint that cause pain, swelling, catching or stiffness, often after an injury such as a sprain. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, performs Ankle Arthroscopy.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
If I have had an MRI, why is arthroscopy needed?
Imaging comes first and guides the decision. Arthroscopy lets the inside of the joint be seen directly, which can settle a diagnosis that imaging has left uncertain, and the problem is usually treated in the same operation.
Will I need crutches or a boot?
For a short period, often. How long depends on what was done inside the joint: removing a fragment or scar tissue generally has a shorter recovery than treating a cartilage lesion.
How long until I am back to sport?
It depends on what was treated. Return to running and sport usually takes several months, and longer where a cartilage lesion was treated. The timeline is set by how the ankle recovers rather than by the calendar.
What are the risks of Ankle Arthroscopy?
As with any operation, they include infection and stiffness. Small nerves run close to the incisions at the front of the ankle, and irritation of one can cause numbness on the top of the foot. The risks are discussed with you before the operation.
Do you take insurance?
