Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various ankle conditions.
One of our most common procedures is classified as minimally invasive decompression surgery. This type of surgery is often performed on patients who have a nerve compressed along their spinal cord, resulting in both local and radiating pain.
Nerve compression can be caused by a number of things, it is usually a result of one of the following spine conditions that we treat at Total Spine & Orthopedics:
Our minimally invasive procedures allow our surgeons to enter the site of the spine condition, whether in the neck or back, through a less than 1-inch incision. Through this incision, the surgeon will remove the area of the bone or disc that is compressing a nerve in your spinal cord. Once the nerve is decompressed, the incision is closed and the patient is moved into the recovery room. All of our surgeries are performed in our outpatient surgery centers, which mean that our patients are able to leave the same day as their surgery was performed.
Living with chronic neck or back pain can cause you to miss out on life. The spine condition causing your pain might also cause a loss of mobility and stiffness that prevents you from doing the activities you once loved.

Our minimally invasive spine surgery is an alternative to traditional open neck or open back surgery, resulting in a 98 patient satisfaction score and no lengthy recovery time for most patients.
