Basic steps for the ankle arthroscopy
Keywords:
ankle arthroscopy, surgical procedure, surgical technique, ankle injury.Abstract
The ankle arthroscopy is a very used surgical procedure at present in people with disorders of this joint. Keeping this in mind the present study was carried out with the objective of updating the basic steps for its use and to deepen in the more important aspects related to the topic, among which there are: anatomy, surgical indications, necessary tools, distraction methods, arthroscopic portals and route, as well as complications related to the procedure. Among other advantages, it allows to diagnose great number of diseases which affect the ankle joint and to offer an opportune treatment.
