Ankle Arthroscopy

Many ankle problems can be helped using minimally invasive techniques such as ankle arthroscopy. Ankle arthroscopy uses a camera and other small instruments to remove inflammation and help fix cartilage defects. We can now also replace cartilage for some arthritic problems and also perform microfracture for cartilage loss if necessary. Arthroscopy can be used to perform ankle arthrodesis, which allows faster healing times than the previous methods. Call our Foot and Ankle Surgeon today at 719-488-4664 for evaluation today!
