Summary
The technique and results of 11 arthroscopies of the ankle joint are presented. The main indications were post-traumatic pain and osteochondritis dissecans of the talus. As a result of arthroscopy, a radionegative loose body was found, exploratory arthrotomy was avoided in one case, incisions and operative procedures were changed, and loose bodies were removed by arthroscopic operation in one case.
