Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle arthroscopy is done for a variety of problems of the ankle joint and include:

• Instability of ankle joint- If the patient feels instability or cannot maintain balance at the ankle joint. The surgeon will discuss the problem with you, and ankle arthroscopy can be used to treat such a problem.
• Ligament tear- In cases where there is a tear of the ligament of the ankle joint. The ligament gives strength to the ankle, and if the tear is present, there will be difficulty in climbing stairs, running or even walking.
• Cartilage damage- In cases where there is damage to the cartilage of the joint, these can be treated arthroscopically.
• Impingement- If swelling is present in the structure or tissues around an ankle joint.
• Spurs- Presence of spurs or loose body inside joint (extra bone inside the joint).

With newer advances and the latest technology, ankle arthroscopy is now routinely performed surgery in the world.

Ankle arthroscopy has several benefits such as:

• Very small cuts/incisions
• Quick recovery
• Decreased complication
• Very less blood loss
• Less pain than traditional surgeries

This totally depends on:

• Problem for which surgery was done
• Age of the patient
• Activity level of the patient

Usually, the patients may have to use crutches for a few weeks, and usually, patients return to their routine activities in months.

It depends on the hospital category chosen by the patients. At Simpainortho.com, we have tried to reduce the cost of surgery and hospital expenses and included complete after-surgery services, which patients require after surgery. As we know treatment doesn’t end at the discharge of the patient. To ensure the quick recovery of patients in simpainortho.com, we believe that a patient requires expert care within the most comfortable surroundings until he/she can join routine activities. So, we have made different packages for different patients according to need, and that too at the most affordable prices.
