Foot/ Ankle arthrotomy
Foot/ Ankle arthrotomy involves making an incision over the anterior or lateral aspect of the ankle, careful dissection down to the joint capsule, and opening the capsule to access the ankle joint. The surgeon can then irrigate the joint, remove infected or damaged tissue, or address mechanical problems. After completing the procedure, the joint capsule and overlying tissues are closed.
When is this Procedure Necessary?
As with most surgical procedures, it is highly recommended that patients first consider conservative treatment options. Although you cannot treat underlying arthritis, it is possible to find ways to manage your pain. Often, patients find relief from conservative options including physical therapy, hot and cold therapy, and anti-inflammatory pain medications.
If these methods are ineffective, you may begin to consider surgery. Depending on your condition, your surgeon will recommend the most effective, least invasive treatment path. An arthroscopic ankle assessment with Brostrom ligament repair is an excellent surgical option for patients who experience difficulty walking and other debilitating symptoms.
You may begin to consider an arthroscopic ankle assessment with Brostrom ligament repair if:
- You experience constant chronic ankle pain
- Recurring ankle sprains
- Midfoot cavus
- Plantar flexion of the first ray
