“…A significantly different range of motion between treated (39˚) and untreated ankles (56˚) was found amongst our patients (p<0.001). The mean postoperative ROM in previous studies was 50˚ (p<0.004) (17), 34±6˚ (6) and 45 ( 18), while we recorded a mean of 39˚ at a mean of 67 months' follow-up. A study with 406 ankles with osteoarthrosis (radiologic ankle grade greater than KLS 2) without surgical treatment revealed a smaller mean ROM for dorsal extension and plantar flexion of 22˚ (1).…”

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of arthrolysis surgery and the risk of progression of osteoarthrosis at the ankle joint. Materials and Methods: In a retrospective clinical and radiological study, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months, the pain level and quality of living were evaluated. Results: Following arthrolysis of the ankle joint, 16% of patients required ankle fusion within 2 years. Women had a higher quality-of-life in terms of Foot Function Index. Younger patients scored higher in both quality-of-life and function scores. Radiographic osteoarthrotic changes and the specific follow-up interval did not correlate with clinical outcome. Conclusion: Fewer than 20% of patients required ankle fusion. Female gender and young age had a positive impact. Preoperative radiography and the postsurgical interval are poorly predictive for the progression of osteoarthrosis. 535 This article is freely accessible online.

“…However, mid-term studies are limited. 4,11,15 In our study, we present clinical examination results, in addition to functional outcomes, at a minimum of 6 years after arthroscopic management of ankle soft tissue impingement. A proper objective examination, the symptoms, and the use of MRI can lead to an accurate diagnosis of anterior soft tissue impingement.…”

“…Numerous authors reported 84-96 % of good and excellent results for arthroscopic treatment of soft tissue impingement with an average follow-up of 2 years [17,[46][47][48]. Most patients had significant pain reduction, but only 26 % of them could go back to their previous level in sports [49].…”

Anterior ankle impingement results from an impingement of the ankle joint by a soft tissue or osteophyte formation at the anterior aspect of the distal tibia and talar neck. It often occurs secondary to direct trauma (impaction force) or repetitive ankle dorsiflexion (repetitive impaction and traction force). Chronic ankle pain, swelling, and limitation of ankle dorsiflexion are common complaints. Imaging is valuable for diagnosis of the bony impingement but not for the soft tissue impingement, which is based on clinical findings. MR imaging and MR arthrography are helpful in doubtful diagnoses and the identification of associated injuries. Recommended methods for initial management include rest, physical therapy, and shoe modification. If nonoperative treatment fails, arthroscopic bony or soft tissue debridement both offer significant symptomatic relief with long-term positive outcomes in cases that have no significant arthritic change, associated ligament laxity, and chondral lesion.
