Diagnostic value of the ankle arthroscopy

Abstract

Diagnostic value of the ankle arthroscopy was investigated through a retrograde comparison between preoperative diagnoses and arthroscopic findings in 43 patients (30 males, 13 females, age range 9-78 years) who underwent ankle arthroscopy between 1991-1998. Diagnostic arthroscopy was performed in 12 patients who had not received a diagnosis through other methods. Out of the patients with a preoperative diagnosis, 11 had osteochondral lesion of the talus (OCT), 7 anterolateral impingement, 6 cartilage lesions, 5 synovitis and 1 patient had anterior osseous impingement. Following arthroscopy, 11 patients were diagnosed to have OCT, 10 anterolateral impingement, 8 cartilage lesion, 8 synovitis, 3 loose bodies, 1 necrotic bone island and 1 anterior osteophyte. Among the 43 patients, 12 patients received a new diagnosis (28%). Preoperative diagnosis was confirmed in 23 patients (53%), a second and equally important diagnosis was made in 5 patients and primary diagnosis was altered in 3 patients. Considering that a change in diagnosis was made in 47% of patients, a conclusion may be drawn such that arthroscopy may have a role in the evaluation of chronic ankle pain. A review of the diagnoses reveals that in only 14% of the cases a surgically important was established and that all the other visions could either be detected by preoperative diagnostic methods or were not suitable for treatment. Therefore arthroscopy may not be an important diagnostic method in the ankle joint.
