The ankle is a joint that is vulnerable to trauma and injuries. Damage to the ankle joint may occur in individuals due to trauma, impacts and sprains. Ankle disorders manifest themselves with severe pain, swelling and stiffness in the joint area, limitation of movement, difficulty in standing and walking, sound coming from the ankle joint, and the feeling of stepping in the air when stepping on the foot. If complaints persist for more than 3 weeks and other treatment methods fail to produce results, ankle arthroscopy is performed.

Individuals stay in the hospital for 1 night after the operation. They need to rest for 2 weeks. It is important that they do not put pressure on their ankles unless necessary. When they need to walk, they should avoid applying any weight or tension on their operated wrists with their crutches or walking- cane. Swelling and discomfort in the ankles may occur for up to 2 weeks. To alleviate these discomforts, they need to get plenty of rest, position their operated feet high while resting, apply ice and apply pressure at regular intervals. Individuals are often recommended physical therapy to restore the function of the ankle joint and muscles. Starting physical therapy positively affects the healing process. Individuals can return to their daily activities after 6 to 8 weeks. If they are recommended to use special shoes during their daily activities, they should take care to use them.

Although it varies from individual to individual, full recovery may take up to 12 weeks.
