Hindfoot Endoscopy / Posterior Ankle Arthroscopy

Hindfoot endoscopy, also known as posterior ankle arthroscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the back of the ankle and hindfoot region. Using a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions, the surgeon can accurately examine and treat problems with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. This procedure is commonly performed for conditions such as posterior ankle impingement, Achilles tendon disorders, loose bone fragments, inflammation, cysts, and sports-related injuries. Compared to traditional open surgery, hindfoot endoscopy offers benefits including smaller scars, less pain, reduced recovery time, and quicker return to daily activities. With appropriate rehabilitation and follow-up care, patients can experience improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and better overall ankle function.
