Arthroscopic evaluation of traumatic injuries to the ankle and foot. Part II: Chronic posttraumatic pain.
Arthroscopic evaluation of major injuries to the lower extremities is receiving more attention in medicine, as techniques become increasingly sophisticated. The following discussion serves as the second of a two-part series reviewing this interesting topic. Part I appeared in the November-December, 1989, issue of The Journal of Foot Surgery, and evaluated acute injuries of the foot and ankle. Part II concentrates on management and recognition of chronic posttraumatic pain.
