We report on 5 patients who successfully underwent an arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis in the department of Orthopaedics of the University Hospital in Nijmegen. Three patients had haemophilia, one rheumatoid arthritis, and one arthrosis following trauma. The results were satisfactory. The patients had surprisingly little postoperative pain. It appears from the literature that regarding morbidity in terms of infection, pseudarthrosis and consolidation time, arthroscopic arthrodesis compares favourable with the open procedures.
