Abstract
This chapter describes the indications and operative technique for arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis. The results of arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis have been rewarding and favorable compared to open techniques. Also the long-term results which have been reported in the literature are rewarding in spite of arthritis and stiffness of adjacent joints. Indication for ankle fusion and ankle prosthesis is given.
