Arthroscopic treatment of anterolateral impingement of the ankle

Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the mid-term results of patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for chronic ankle pain due to anterolateral impingement. Methods: The study included twenty-eight patients (12 males, 16 females, mean age 32.5 years; range 14 to 49 years). The mean duration between the first injury and operation was 10 months (range 6 to 19 months). Anterolateral impingement was localized on the right side in 16 patients. Eleven patients were recreational athletes, but at the time of the first examination they all had given up exercising. All patients but two had at least one episode of ankle sprain. Although roentgenograms failed to demonstrate any pathology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed anterolateral impingement in 11 patients. Qualitative and quantitative assessments of the results were made using the Martin’s classification and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring table, respectively. The mean follow-up was 32.5 months (range 10 to 57 months). Results: According to the Martin’s classification, we obtained excellent, good, and fair results in seventeen, eight, and three patients, respectively. The mean AOFAS scores increased from 74.6 to 90.6 postoperatively. Two patients developed temporary superficial peroneal nerve lesions. Conclusion: Anterolateral impingement of the ankle should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic ankle pain without demonstrable radiologic abnormalities. We believe that diagnosis and treatment of chronic ankle pain due to anterolateral impingement can be successfully made by ankle arthroscopy.
