Editorial Commentary: Ankle Anterior Impingement Is Common in Athletes and Could Be Under-Recognized

James H Lubowitz. Arthroscopy. 2015 Aug.

Abstract

Arthroscopic treatment of anterior ankle pain shows good results, with high patient satisfaction and low complication rates. Anterior pain with ankle hyperdorsiflexion, restriction of dorsiflexion, and swelling, particularly in a soccer player or ballet dancer, is a classic presentation. Ankle anterior impingement is common in athletes and could be under-recognized.
