Popis: Anterior ankle impingement is a syndrome characterized by pain during movement, mainly dorsiflexion, and sometimes by functional restriction. This syndrome predominantly affects athletes, but could be found also in people with lower functional demands with an history of previous untreated or poorly treated ankle sprain. In this clinical feature we can find the following joint lesions: soft tissue hypertrophy, osteocartilagineous tissue damage, osteophytic formations. History and physical examination are very useful to reach an early diagnosis, which is recommended to prevent progression to a more compromised situation. In those cases in which conservative treatment did not solve the problem we consider ankle arthroscopy an excellent diagnostic tool in order to find specific lesions which have been undetected in previous instrumental investigations; at the same time it enables to perform surgery bringing the benefits of minimal invasiveness, low post-surgical rate complications and early recovery to rehabilitation treatment.
