Ankle Arthroscopy Scholarly Journal

Ankle arthroscopy is an operation using a tiny camera and surgical tools to examine or repair the tissues inside or around your ankle. They call the camera an arthroscope. The procedure allows the doctor to detect problems and repair your ankle without making the skin and tissue cut larger. It means you can feel less pain and heal quicker than open surgery. Prior to this operation, you can get general anesthesia. This means you'll sleep and feel no pain. Or, you will have regional anesthesia. Your leg and ankle area will be numbed so that you do not feel any pain. All operations include potential complications, including anesthesia-related accidents, infection, nerve and blood vessel damage, and bleeding or blood clots. Potential arthroscopic-specific complications include injury to the nerves and blood vessels around the ankle. Approximately 10 per cent of the time can occur in numbness or tingling at the top. This generally works out over time
