“…This can be achieved using a small-bore shaver for removal, debridement and joint cleaning. The utilisation of small-bore equipment not only foresees a potential quicker recovery from the arthroscopic intervention but, although beyond the scope of this study, may also enhance the likelihood of a successful return to the preinjury level of sports 19 20. Additionally, needle arthroscopy offers an improved patient-centred consultation, as it can be conducted under local anaesthesia for different indications due to the small-bore instrumentation 21 22.…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the incidence rate and characterise the location and severity of cartilage lesions in the ankle in elite athletes undergoing suture-button stabilisation for unstable distal syndesmotic injuries using needle arthroscopic examination. The feasibility and safety of ad hoc needle arthroscopy and its assisted interventions were also assessed.MethodsThis prospective case series included elite athletes undergoing surgical stabilisation between April 2021 and June 2023. Procedures involved suture button fixation and needle arthroscopy, conducted by a single ankle fellow-trained surgeon. Ankle cartilage lesions were graded using the Cheng and Ferkel classification and located using the nine-zone grid. The study followed the STROBE statement.ResultsThis study included 16 elite athletes undergoing surgery for distal syndesmotic injuries, with 75% having acute and 25% chronic injuries. Cartilage lesions were prevalent (n=15/16, 94%), mainly at the talar dome (90%), and primarily scored as grade 1 (33%) or grade 2 (67%). Distal tibia cartilage damage occurred in 13% of cases. All patients were diagnosed with an instability of the syndesmosis confirmed through needle arthroscopy and were treated with a suture button (one or two buttons) fixation.ConclusionIn 15/16 elite athletes with syndesmotic injuries, concomitant ankle cartilage lesions were identified through needle arthroscopy. In addition, most of the lesions were classified as grade 1 or 2, denoting superficial damage. Needle arthroscopic interventions proved feasible and safe for confirming syndesmotic instability and addressing intra-articular pathologies.

“… 1 , 8 New trends advocate arthroscopic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) when the ligament remnants are competent, showing satisfactory outcomes, and anatomic reconstruction with tendon autograft when ligament remnants are insufficient or in a combined calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) injury. 1 , 2 , 8 …”

“…Acute lateral ankle sprains are the most common sports injury. 8 Many of the injured patients recover with conservative treatment; however, up to 40% of them progress to chronic lateral ankle instability requiring surgical stabilization. 1 Surgical treatment for chronic ankle instability is controversial regarding approach (open vs arthroscopic), technique (repair vs reconstruction), indications, and timing, yet the Broström-Gould procedure remains the gold standard and first-line surgical treatment.…”

“…The majority of people recover fully from them, but some experience chronic instability that makes it difficult for them to engage in strenuous activity. 2 Ankle sprains account for 70% or more of all reported ankle injuries in numerous sports, and ankle injuries itself make up 10% to 30% of all athletic injuries. Treatment for ankle sprains is frequently insufficient.…”

Background As there is high expense of treatment and potential long-term consequences including chronic ankle instability (CAI), lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are common among athletes and represent a substantial healthcare burden. In terms of preventing more injuries and encouraging a full recovery, traditional treatments frequently fall short. Methods At the Department of Sports Physiotherapy, futsal athletes with grade I and grade II lateral ankle sprains will participate in a parallel-group, 1:1 allocation ratio trial. Individuals who fulfil the eligibility requirements will be randomized at random to either the experimental or control group. Conventional physiotherapy treatments will be administered to the control group, and IVR sessions utilizing certain games will be administered to the experimental group in addition to the same therapies. The Y Balance Tool is used to measure dynamic balance, the X Sens MVN system is used to measure vertical jump, and the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is used to assess static balance. Result This study aims to offer a new way to improving results for futsal players recovering from lateral ankle sprains by utilizing IVR technology in conjunction with traditional physiotherapy. The results could lead to the creation of more efficient sports-related injury rehabilitation programs, which would improve athlete performance and lessen the incidence of ankle sprains in athletic populations.
