We have a team of highly regarded orthopedic surgeons and sports injury specialists who use arthroscopic techniques whenever possible to restore ankles or other major joints. Patients quickly discover our passion to stay at the forefront of sports medicine. Our physicians are recognized by their peers as experts in their field, and they are known for providing minimally invasive methods to effectively treat all types of ankle injuries.
Ankle arthroscopy uses small incisions and a thin fiber-optic camera (arthroscope) to accurately diagnose and treat problems of the ankle. This minimally invasive procedure allows patients to benefit from less tissue damage and scarring, less pain and a faster recovery time. Our practice recommends ankle arthroscopy to reduce your ankle pain and improve its overall function, allowing you to return to everyday activities and sports.
