Between 1987 and 1992, 51 operative ankle arthroscopies were performed \u2014 all as out\u2010patient procedures. Thirty\u2010six patients had local anaesthesia, 7 had general anaesthesia, one had spinal anaesthesia and one had epidural anaesthesia. No prophylactic antibiotics were given. Indications for surgery were the same for patients who had local anaesthesia as for those who had the other types of anaesthesia. Nineteen patients had partial synovectomies, 8 had removals of osteophytes, 7 had debridements of osteochondral fractures, 6 had debridements of mild degenerative osteoarthritis, 3 had loose bodies and 2 had septic arthritis. After a mean of 3 years (range 1\u20138) the patients were sent a questionnaire. They were asked to rate activity level, pain, swelling, and limb stiffness on a four\u2010grade scale pre\u2010 and postoperatively and to rate their total subjective improvement. They were also asked if they would undergo the same procedure again knowing the outcome of the procedure. Forty\u2010five patients (88%) were available for follow\u2010up. Thirty\u2010four patients (76%) were improved, 10\u00a0remained unchanged, and one became worse after surgery. No correlation existed between preoperative symptom duration, sex, trauma, type of anaesthesia, postoperative diagnosis or type of surgical procedure. Minor complications occurred in 11% of patients. Eighty\u2010four percent of the patients said they would undergo the same procedure again. The type of anaesthesia used did not influence this decision. Our follow\u2010up results are in agreement with those previously published after surgery in patients who had general anaesthesia. Arthroscopic surgery of the ankle can be performed as an out\u2010patient procedure in patients under local anaesthesia without a tourniquet and without antibiotic prophylaxis and can yield results comparable to those published earlier.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/bf01845598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,5]],"date-time":"2005-07-05T02:32:23Z","timestamp":1120530743000},"page":"250-254","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Late follow\u2010up results of operative ankle arthroscopy in patients under local anaesthesia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Valentin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Sports Orthopaedic Surgery Karolinska Hospital S\u2010171 76 Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Winge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Sports Orthopaedic Surgery Karolinska Hospital S\u2010171 76 Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Stark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>2<\/label>--> Department of Orthopaedics Karolinska Hospital S\u2010171 76 Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Eriksson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Department of Sports Orthopaedic Surgery Karolinska Hospital S\u2010171 76 Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"46","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198510000-00007","article-title":"Operative arthroscopy of the ankle","volume":"199","author":"Parisien SJ","year":"1985","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354658901700103"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-8063(92)90022-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079201300703"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","first-page":"110","volume":"2","author":"Martin DF","year":"1989","journal-title":"Arthroscopic treatment of chronic synovitis of the ankle"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354658601400306"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198668060-00007"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(86)80017-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/036354658901700307"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","unstructured":"DijkCN van(1994)Ankle arthroscopy.
