Arthroscopic surgery

Arthroscopic surgery

Ankle arthroscopy, as well as that of other joints, has considerably developed over the past few years. This minimally invasive technique involves inserting a camera through small incisions, generally two, in order to obtain a complete visualization of the joint in question. It also allows certain surgical procedures to be performed with great precision, under direct visual control, while avoiding large surgical openings. Arthroscopy offers many advantages when appropriately indicated, notably faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and a reduced risk compared to traditional surgery.

Arthroscopy for the release of an anterior or posterior impingement.

Following recurrent ankle sprains, persistent pain may occur due to impingements, either of soft tissues or bone, located at the front (anterior) or back (posterior) of the joint. Arthroscopy allows for the targeted identification and treatment of these impingements by precisely accessing the affected area and releasing the structures responsible for the pain — all through minimally invasive incisions.

Achilles tendon arthroscopy for chronic tendinopathies.

The Achilles tendon may develop chronic inflammation, either within the tendon itself or at its insertion on the calcaneus. Arthroscopy allows for a targeted intervention on the tendon sheath or the insertion site, effectively treating the pain while minimizing surgical trauma.

Fusion

Arthroscopy allows for precise visualization and optimal preparation of the joint surfaces, particularly in procedures such as ankle fusion or subtalar fusion.

Ankle instability

Ligament stabilization can be performed under arthroscopic guidance, allowing direct and precise visualization of the involved structures for optimal correction of the instability.
