Conclusions Ankle arthroscopy has a great deal to offer patients with osteochondral pathology. For many of these entities, the results have lived up to our expectations, and the approach is rapidly becoming the standard of care. The results are limited, however, for arthroscopic débridement of the osteoarthritic ankle.
Conclusions Direct arthroscopic visualization of the posterior subtalar joint is possible with the use of small arthroscopes (ranging in size from 2.2 to 2.7 mm). Valuable information can be obtained regarding the status of the articular cartilage and synovial lining in cases of degenerative and inflammatory arthritis. Posttraumatic pain syndrome of the hindfoot can be assessed, and limited surgical...
Conclusions The application of therapeutic heat, by either holmium laser or radiofrequency, provides a safe, effective arthroscopic alternative to mechanical instrumentation for peripheral joint surgery. Their small probe sizes and fluid medium transmissibility provide significant advantages over electrocautery and other laser systems developed for biomedical applications. Developing radiofrequency...
