Most ankle arthroscopies are carried out as outpatient operations, and the patient is usually able to leave the same day, with a compression bandage on their ankle. The procedure is carried out under a light general anaesthetic. The small camera is introduced to the joint through small 'portals' on the inside and outside of the ankle and the whole operation usually takes about 45 minutes to perform. A course of physiotherapy is required after the surgery and the patient is usually given the all clear to resume normal activities after a check-up at 6 weeks.
