Arthroscopic Ankle Fusion

Arthroscopic ankle fusion is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat severe ankle arthritis and chronic ankle pain that does not improve with conservative treatments. The procedure involves using an arthroscope and specialized instruments through small incisions to remove damaged cartilage and fuse the ankle bones together, creating a stable and pain-free joint. Arthroscopic ankle fusion is commonly recommended for patients with advanced arthritis, joint deformity, or instability caused by injury or long-term wear and tear. Compared to traditional open surgery, this technique often results in smaller incisions, less tissue damage, reduced pain, and faster recovery. With proper rehabilitation and post-operative care, the procedure helps improve stability, reduce discomfort, and enhance overall quality of life.
