Abstract: Both open and arthroscopic techniques have been successful in treating posterior ankle impingement syndrome and related hindfoot issues. However, arthroscopy stands out for its superior benefits, including reduced morbidity, minimal scarring, less trauma to surrounding tissues, and quicker recovery, allowing patients to return to their daily lives and sporting activities swiftly.
