Arthroscopy of ankle is becoming a common procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of ankle pain. Little information exists regarding the long term prognosis following ankle arthroscopy, particularly in avoiding further major surgery. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognosis of arthroscopic ankle treatment, based on survival analysis. Also we will formalise the relationship between the arthroscopic treatment and time for a further major ankle surgery.

Type of study

Consecutive Case Series study using prospectively gathered data.

Methods

Eighty consecutive patients (80 ankles) having ankle arthroscopy (between 1998 and 2000) with the finding of OA or impingement were identified and their outcome at five years ascertained.
