Arthroscopic Foot Surgery

Because the ankle and foot absorb a great deal of pressure over a lifetime of movement, the likelihood of trauma and/or constant wear and tear is quite high. If this involves persistent discomfort and ultimately, becomes disabling, arthroscopic foot surgery may be recommended to improve your mobility and pain. 

​

Utilizing small incisions and a miniature camera to examine and repair the area, arthroscopic foot surgery reduces the risk of infection and swelling. This minimally invasive, outpatient procedure is used to treat a number of painful ankle and foot conditions including the early stages of arthritis and joint debridement - the removal of loose cartilage and inflamed tissue from the joint. It can also be used to treat painful past injuries, such as a fracture, severe sprain or ligament injury, as well as plantar fasciitis (heel spur syndrome), and problems of the big toe joint.
