Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that foot and ankle surgeons use to treat problems in the ankle. This procedure uses a thin fiber-optic camera (arthroscope) that can magnify and transmit images of the ankle to a video screen.
Goals of this type of surgery are to reduce pain and improve overall function of the ankle joint.
What Conditions does Ankle Arthroscopy Treat?
  • Arthritis
  • Loose Bodies
  • Osteochondral Defect
  • Synovitis
  • Unexplained symptoms

If conservative treatment for these conditions fails, then arthroscopy may be the next logical step in your treatment.

Often, this minimally invasive procedure can prolong having a more invasive and longer recovery surgical procedure.

If you have a condition that you believe would benefit from an arthroscopic procedure, visit one of the offices of Innovative Foot and Ankle. Our licensed foot and ankle surgeons on staff are well trained and educated in arthroscopic procedures. Throughout Northern New Jersey, we are located in Montclair, Bayonne, Kenilworth and Little Ferry.
