What is Ankle Arthroscopy?

Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat various ankle joint problems. A small camera (arthroscope) and specialized surgical tools are inserted through tiny incisions to examine and treat issues inside the joint. Compared to open surgery, ankle arthroscopy offers faster recovery, reduced pain, and minimal scarring.

Who May Need Ankle Arthroscopy?

Ankle arthroscopy is recommended for patients experiencing:

- Persistent ankle pain or swelling
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight
- Ankle instability or locking
- Cartilage damage or wear
- Bone spurs or loose bone/cartilage fragments
- Ligament injuries or chronic sprains
- Impingement syndromes
- Ankle joint inflammation not responding to non-surgical treatments

How is the Procedure Done?

Dr. Amandeep Singh Narang – M.B.B.S., DNB (Ortho), MCh (Ortho) from Dundee, U.K. – offers ankle arthroscopy at MKW Hospital, Rajouri Garden using modern surgical technology and international protocols.

The procedure is performed under local or spinal anesthesia and usually lasts 30–60 minutes. Small incisions are made around the ankle to insert the arthroscope and instruments. Dr. Narang visually inspects the joint and treats the issue—such as removing loose bodies, trimming damaged tissue, or repairing ligaments—based on the diagnosis.

Most patients are discharged the same day with a tailored rehabilitation plan. Recovery is quicker and less painful than traditional surgery, and most people return to regular activities within a few weeks.
