Paper 60: Arthroscopic Treatment of Anterolateral Soft Tissue Impingement of the Ankle: Is This an Effective Treatment in Patients Under 15 Years Old?

Abstract

Inversion injuries of the ankle are common in children and adolescents. Although the vast majority of these injuries are resolved uneventfully, some young patients develop chronic pain, swelling and giving-way aggravated by activity. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the results of patients less than 15 years old treated with arthroscopic debridement of soft tissue impingement of the ankle.
