Arthroscopy of the foot and ankle in the athlete.
Ankle arthroscopy has evolved over the past decade to address many acute and chronic injuries in the athlete. Although similar outcomes are reported with established open procedures, arthroscopic intervention confers the advantages of decreased postoperative morbidity and earlier return to sports activity. Arthroscopic procedures for the foot are evolving; however, most are considered investigational at this time.
