Arthroscopic Ankle Surgery

Ankle arthroscopy is a method that allows us to examine and treat by entering the joint with the help of telescopic cameras.

Pathologies such as cartilage damage, soft tissue compression, and ligament damage are seen after examination and imaging in patients who often occur after ankle sprains and do not heal despite long-term treatment.

The advantage of arthroscopy to the patient is the possibility of being treated with 2 incisions of 1 cm in length. Compared to open surgeries, the postoperative period is shortened considerably and undesirable conditions such as pain and adhesions due to surgery are minimized. While compression is allowed in the early postoperative period, it is necessary to relieve the load for 4-6 weeks after cartilage injuries and the patient is not allowed to press on that side.

Arthroscopy of the Back of the Ankle

As in forefoot arthroscopy, surgery is performed with 2 incisions of 1 cm in size from the back of the ankle. Hindfoot arthroscopy provides serious benefits for patients in many diseases such as compression syndrome behind the ankle, cartilage injuries, ligament lesions, synovitis, cysts and other diseases that can not be reached from the anterior part of the ankle.
