Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis.
Despite the increasing popularity of total ankle replacement, ankle arthrodesis remains the gold standard for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Historically, open techniques have been utilized for ankle arthrodesis. There have been many variations and techniques described, including transfibular, anterior, medial, and miniarthrotomy. Inherent disadvantages to these open techniques include postoperative pain, delayed or nonunion, wound complications, shortening, prolonged healing times, and prolonged hospital stays. Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis provides the foot and ankle surgeon with an alternative to the traditional open techniques. Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis has demonstrated faster union rates, decreased complications, reduced postoperative pain, and shorter hospital stays.
