Complications of ankle arthroscopy: frequency, prevention, and treatment

Abstract

Ankle arthroscopy (AA) has been an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in orthopaedic surgery for more than two decades (1). AA is a minimally invasive technique for the diagnosis and treatment of various ankle conditions. It has several advantages over open surgery: less surgical morbidity, less postoperative pain, and an earlier return to preoperative activities (2).
