Ankle Arthroscopy

What is Ankle Arthroscopy?

Ankle Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a camera is inserted into the ankle joint to evaluate and treat a variety of conditions.


This allows direct visualization of parts of the foot ankle and also allows surgical procedures to be performed by  ‘keyhole’ surgery.


Where required, additional surgical instruments can be inserted through additional small incisions around your ankle. This can allow a range of other surgical actions.

Why Have an Arthroscopy of the Foot or Ankle

The camera offers an image of the inside of your foot or ankle and can help the doctor evaluate and treat a range of disorders including:

  • Ankle Arthritis
  • Unstable Ankle
  • Ankle Fractures
  • Syndesmosis Injuries
  • Osteochondral Defects (OCD) of the Talus
  • Infections
  • Undiagnosed Ankle Pain
