Ankle arthroscopy has evolving indications, but the referenced study by Glazebrook et al found fair evidence-based literature to support a recommendation for the use of ankle arthroscopy for the treatment of osteochondral lesions and for ankle arthrodesis. Arthroscopy is also indicated in anterior ankle impingement as shown in the preoperative and postoperative radiographs shown in Illustration A and B. Ankle arthroscopy for ankle instability, septic arthritis, arthrofibrosis, and removal of loose bodies was supported with only limited evidence. Treatment of ankle arthritis, excluding isolated bony impingement, was not effective and therefore this indication was not recommended.
