Review
This article is devoted to managing posterior ankle impingement syndrome and its management using endoscopic to arthroscopic surgical instrumentation. The authors explore the critical anatomy, pathogenesis, and clinical examination. Operative techniques, including the approach, and instrumentation used, are outlined. The postoperative protocol is discussed. Finally, a literature review is provided, which also defines known complications.

Review
The correction of the deformed arthritic foot and ankle is a complicated and somewhat controversial topic. After conservative methods fail, there is a wide range of possible bony procedures and arthrodesis that maybe performed. The appropriate work up and understanding of the pathomechanics is vital to the correct choice of procedures to correct these deformities. Once the work up and procedure selection is done, the operation must also be technically performed well and with efficiency, as most often the condition is corrected with a variety of procedures. This article discusses some of the most common procedures necessary to fully correct deformity of the midfoot, hindfoot, and ankle. This article will also discuss the authors' technique and pearls.

Review
Peroneal tendinosis and subluxation are lifestyle-limiting conditions that can worsen if not properly diagnosed and treated. Adequate knowledge of ankle anatomy and detailed history and comprehensive physical examination is essential for diagnosis. Peroneal tendinopathy is likely to result from overuse, whereas subluxation often precipitates from forceful contraction of peroneals during sudden dorsiflexion while landing or abruptly stopping. In athletes, conservative measures remain first-line treatment of tendinopathy, but surgery is often immediately indicated in cases of recurrent symptomatic subluxation or dislocation. Surgical technique varies on the type, mechanism, and severity of injury, but most procedures have a high success rate.

Review
The current article provides an algorithm of how to approach crippled ankle by ankle arthrodesis. There is no standard pathology or treatment present, which makes the diagnosis but also surgical correction complex. A surgeon who faces this kind of deformities needs to be skilled and well familiar with the full setting of the foot and ankle armamentarium.

Review
Ankle joint sepsis is a relatively rare but potentially devastating pathologic process of the lower extremity that requires expeditious identification and management. Establishing the diagnosis of ankle joint sepsis is often challenging as it may present with concomitant pathologies and often lacks consistency in regard to classic clinical characteristics. Once a diagnosis has been established, prompt management is imperative to minimize the potential for long-term sequelae. The purpose of this chapter is to address the diagnosis and management of the septic ankle with a focus on arthroscopic treatment.

Review
OCDs of the ankle are the third most common lesion in the body and a physician should include this in the differential while evaluating the pediatric population with the history of injury and/or pain in the ankle. Pain, stiffness, and swelling are the most common presenting complaints about the pediatric and adolescent patients with an OCD. Conservative treatment options should be attempted before attempting surgical intervention. Multiple surgical procedures exist to manage the lesion based on location, size, and other factors.

Review
Using ankle arthroscopy in conjunction to open reduction internal fixation of traumatic ankle injuries can play an important role in the management of these injuries by way of treating intra-articular pathologies, leading to improved patient outcomes. While a majority of these injuries are not treated with concurrent arthroscopy, its addition may lead to more prognostic information to dictate the patient's course. This article has illustrated its use in managing malleolar fractures, syndesmotic injuries, pilon fractures and pediatric ankle fractures. While additional studies may be needed to further support AORIF, it may prove to play a vital role in the future.
