Ankle Arthroscopy – Repairing Ankles with Keyhole Surgery

Ankle arthroscopy – also known as keyhole surgery – can be an excellent option for repairing ankle tissue damaged by a fall, twist or sprain. Ankle arthroscopy typically requires only two tiny incisions, a few stitches, and bandages for about 10 days. Many patients don’t even need crutches following surgery, and most return to working out and running in just six to eight weeks. Dr. Torhorst is here to explain this minimally invasive procedure that is helping his ankle surgery patients enjoy fewer complications, less scarring and faster recoveries.
