AB  - Objective: The ankles that are the main organs cause standingover the earth can be damaged by different reasons. The ankles become painfulwith the problems like impingement syndrome that is soft tissue hipertrofies,osteochondral defects that is cartilage damages, traumatic or degenerativearthropaties, intraarticular tumoral tissues and some problems like that. Thesepainful ankles can be treated with conservative methods. If it is impossible totreat painful ankles with conservative way it can be treated by minimalinvasive ankle arthroscopy that is cheaper and much more satisfied, oftreatment. Methods: We aim to evaluate theresults and effectiveness of arthroscopic treatment of the patient who has theforefoot disorders. Also, we hope to compare the advantages, difficulties andprobable complications of the arthroscopic treatment according to conservativetherapy and to investigate the factors that can effect the clinical results.The 40 patients who were practiced and operated with ankle arthroscopy who wasfollowed at least one year were compared statistically with pre-op and post-opcondition. By this way the effectiveness of arthroscopy for the patients whohave anterior ankle problems was determined and the main factors that effectthe results were investigated. According to the result of statistical analysespreop and postop AOFAS and NPS score avarages were found clear different toeach other. Results: The ankle arthroscopy thatis practised by experienced surgeons with an appropriate procedure after a goodclinical practise and a proper indication causes a high patient satisfactionand it causes less and temporary complications. Because of all these reasons webelieve that the ankle arthroscopy can be practised by the appropriate surgeonto the appropriate patient population. Conclusion: We believe that the outcomes of ankle arthroscopyperformed properly by experienced hands after determining the patientpopulation who were accurately diagnosed by careful clinical examination andnecessary imaging methods are greatly satisfactory, and the acceptability ishigh thanks to complications being less and usually transient.
