Abstract

|
|
For the arthroscopic fusion procedure, the development of arthroscopic techniques of joint preparation for fusion have made arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis popular, and foot and ankle surgeons also have gained considerable experience in arthroscopic techniques. Arthroscopic techniques offer minimized soft tissue disruption, lower morbidity and mortality, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay and time to fusion. In addition, they may reduce the risk of wound complications for patients with a poor soft tissue envelope or relevant co-morbidities.
