More than 100 ankle arthroscopies have been per formed at our institution since 1983. To better define the role of arthroscopic surgery in the treatment of ankle disorders, we evaluated the preoperative exami nation and indications, operative data, and radiographs of those patients with a minimum of 1 year of followup. Fifty-eight ankles in 57 patients were identified; their average follow-up period was 25 months (range, 12 to 49 months).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Preoperative diagnoses were synovitis (26), trans chondral defects of the talus (17), degenerative joint disease (8), and osteophytes or loose bodies (7). Sub jective results were good or excellent in 64% of cases. The best overall results were achieved in patients with synovitis (77%) and transchondral defects of the talus (71 %). Degenerative joint disease patients did not do well. They had only 12% good or excellent results and a 43% rate of subsequent fusion. Complications in cluded superficial and deep infections, temporary and permanent paresthesias, and hemarthroses; the overall complication rate was 15%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In conclusion, operative ankle arthroscopy can be useful in selected patients. It is an effective surgical procedure in patients with synovitis and transchondral defects of the talus. The benefits and long-term results are less predictable with loose bodies and impinging osteophytes; the results are poor with degenerative joint disease. There appears to be a significant risk of complication with ankle arthroscopy; however, with proper indications, a thorough knowledge of anatomical landmarks, and meticulous technique, good results can be obtained.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/036354658901700103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,21]],"date-time":"2007-06-21T20:46:52Z","timestamp":1182458812000},"page":"16-23","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":168,"title":["Operative ankle arthroscopy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"David F.","family":"Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hughston Orthopaedic Clinic, PC, Columbus, Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Champ L.","family":"Baker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hughston Orthopaedic Clinic, PC, Columbus, Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Walton W.","family":"Curl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hughston Orthopaedic Clinic, PC, Columbus, Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James R.","family":"Andrews","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hughston Orthopaedic Clinic, PC, Columbus, Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David B.","family":"Robie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hughston Orthopaedic Clinic, PC, Columbus, Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Albert F.","family":"Haas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hughston Orthopaedic Clinic, PC, Columbus, Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1989,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110078500600106"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-8063(86)80017-2"},{"key":"atypb3","unstructured":"Barber FA, Britt BT, Ratliff HW, et al: The anatomy of ankle arthroscopic surgery Surg Rounds Orthop 1: 22-24, 1987"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-195941060-00002"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00449927"},{"key":"atypb6","unstructured":"Burman MS Arthroscopy or the direct visualization of joints An experimental cadaver study J Bone Joint Surg 13: 669-695, 1931"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198062010-00014"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0278-5919(20)31006-1"},{"key":"atypb9","unstructured":"Chen Y-C.: Arthroscopy of the ankle joint, in Watanabe M (ed) Arthroscopy of Small Joints Tokyo , Igaku-Shoin, 1985, pp 104-127"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0278-5919(20)31507-6"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110078100200303"},{"key":"atypb12","unstructured":"Fallat LM: Accuracy of diagnostic arthroscopy of the ankle joint J Foot Surg 26: 26-32, 1987"},{"key":"atypb13","unstructured":"Gollehon DL, Drez D.
