Introduction:- Tibio-talar arthrodesis remains the surgical procedure used most frequently for post-traumatic arthritis after conservative measures have been exhausted. Minimal invasive ankle arthrodesis with arthroscopic assistance have advantages over conventional one. Methods: - An evaluation of prospectively case series study done on 32 patients that underwent arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis in 2015-19. Clinical assessment was done foot and ankle disability index and visual analog scale score for pain. Radiological assessment was done by serial x rays. All patients underwent arthroscopic assisted ankle arthrodesis. Regular follow-ups were taken till one year. Results: - All cases showed radiological evidence of fusion at 3 months. After a mean 6 months follow up there was significant improvement in terms of foot and ankle disability index and visual analog scale in terms of pain. Conclusions: - Arthroscopic assisted ankle arthrodesis is a effective way to treat ankle arthritis where conservative management has failed.
