Arthroscopy of the ankle joint
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various diseases and injuries of the ankle joint.
The ankle joint carries a significant load of the weight of the entire body, which makes it vulnerable to various injuries. Arthroscopy is used to treat ligament damage, chondromalacia, osteochondritis, impingement syndrome and other pathologies.
Arthroscopy of the ankle joint is performed much less frequently than arthroscopy of the knee or shoulder joint, but it still remains an effective treatment method. Arthroscopy allows you to examine the ankle joint for damage and eliminate the detected violations using an arthroscope — a special device with a camera and micro-tools inserted through small punctures.
