Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Ankle arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the treatment of pathologies of the ankle joint. In a series of 7 articles, the basics of ankle arthroscopy are reviewed. In this article (Part II), anterior ankle surface anatomy, portal placement, and diagnostic arthroscopy are reviewed. We also review benefits and drawbacks associated with a 1.9-mm 0° arthroscope in comparison to a standard 2.7-mm or 4.0-mm 30° arthroscope.
