Abstract

Much advancement has been made in ankle arthroscopy. In 1931, Burman concluded the ankle joint was not appropriate for arthroscopy due to its small size.1,2 However, Takagi, in 1982, described a routine method to examine the ankle through arthroscopy.3 Over the years, smaller scopes have been developed that are suitable for the ankle, which has advanced the practice immensely.
