Arthroscopy

With osteoarthritis, small pieces of cartilage sometimes wear away from the surfaces of the bones and float around inside the joint. This debris can cause inflammation and pain. An arthroscopy (also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive ankle surgery) is a simple surgical procedure to remove this debris and generally ‘clean up’ the joint to provide subsequent pain relief.
