Overview
Ankle arthroscopy uses small incisions to diagnose and treat intra‑articular problems.

Indications
Impingement, loose bodies, cartilage lesions, or synovitis.

Procedure overview
Arthroscopic instruments are inserted to address pathology with minimal tissue disruption.

Recovery
Typically faster than open surgery; weight‑bearing depends on the procedure performed.

Risks and complications
Infection, nerve injury, stiffness.

Alternatives
Non‑surgical care or open surgery in complex cases.
