We hypothesized that combining hardware removal with arthroscopy for the intra\u2010articular pathology would improve residual complaints more so than hardware removal alone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The outcomes of the 53 young male patients with chronic pain after healed ankle fracture treated with two different therapeutic plans: (1) conservative treatment after hardware removal (group A) and (2) arthroscopic intervention with hardware removal (group B) were prospectively studied. Patients were reviewed preoperatively and 6 and 12\u00a0months postoperatively using American Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS)
