Description
Lambert Li and co-authors present surgical cases of ankle impingement in 2026. Pinching of tissue in the ankle is common in athletes who run, jump, and cut. Two cases show front and back forms, plus a side form, treated through small scopes.
The paper lists who should get surgery: lasting pain or limits after plain care fails. It walks through patient setup, entry points, and tools for each form. Spurs and pinched tissue are trimmed, then the scope checks that motion is free. For the back form, a key tendon marks the safe limit of the work to spare nerves and vessels.
