Non-surgical failure: When you have tried and failed non-surgical options and your doctor recommends it as the next step. If you are unsure you may want to get a second opinion - if so see a foot and ankle md, one in your area can be found at www.Aofas.Org.

Ankle arthroscopy: If you have ongoing ankle pain refractory to a conservative course and imaging that supports an intraarticular disorder such as ocd of the talus, loose bodies, impinging synovium then ankle arthroscopy may be indicated.
