Electrothermal Denervation of Synovial and Capsular Tissue Does not Improve Postoperative Pain in Arthroscopic Debridement of Anterior Ankle Impingement—A Prospective Randomized Study
Abstract:The purpose of the study was to investigate the added value of electrothermal denervation (ETD) in arthroscopic debridement of anterior ankle impingement. Methods: Between May 2019 and December 2020, 58 patients who received arthroscopic anterior decompression for the impingement of the anterior tibiotalar joint were randomized to Group A (n ¼ 29) with ETD of synovial and capsular tissue of the ankle and Group B (n ¼ 29) without ETD. Patients included 37 men and 21 women, with a mean age of 42 years. The pain,… Show more
