    For appropriate patients, Dr. Andrew Ebert may use ankle arthroscopy to address conditions such as cartilage injury, bone spurs, loose fragments, joint inflammation, or select sports-related ankle injuries. The procedure is performed through small incisions using a camera and specialized instruments, allowing treatment with less disruption to surrounding soft tissues than open surgery.
