Treating a Common Injury in a Minimally Invasive Way: Arthroscopy for Ankle Sprains and Ankle Instability

In his presentation at the AANA Annual Conference, Dr. Carreira walked the audience – other leading arthroscopic surgeons from across the U.S.A. – through his technique for minimally invasive arthroscopic ankle stabilization surgery. He also explained in detail the numerous reasons for performing this all-arthroscopic approach.
