Die Arthroskopie des Rückfußes

The posterior arthroscopy is a standardized procedure for surgical treatment of posterior ankle pain. The pathologies include bony and soft tissue dorsal impingement by osteophytes, accessory bones, loose articular bodies or synovitis. Also, an irritation of the FHL tendon often causes posterior ankle pain. By means of the posterior arthroscopy in the dual-portal method referred pain-causing structures can be addressed quickly and technically simple. Suitable for endoscopic therapy are also symptomatic Haglund exostoses without significant Achilles tendon pathology. The advantages of the dorsal arthroscopy compared to open procedures exist in the faster postoperative recovery and the reduced risk of an injury of the sural nerve.
