The following is a retrospective study of 71 patients upon whom diagnostic and operative ankle arthroscopy was performed. The postoperative diagnosis in correlation with chosen operative procedure subjectively demonstrates 96% of the patients claiming excellent, good, or fair results. Three patients were unimproved. The criteria was pain upon range of motion experienced by the patient preoperatively and compared to postoperative status. Indications, contraindications, and complications, and the different forms of pathology encountered also will be reviewed.
