Hindfoot Endoscopy in Mumbai

Minimally Invasive Treatment for Posterior Ankle & Hindfoot Pain at Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic

Hindfoot endoscopy is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the back of the ankle and hindfoot. It allows precise treatment through very small incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
At Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic, we specialize in modern hindfoot endoscopic procedures to help patients return to pain-free movement quickly and safely.

What Is Hindfoot Endoscopy?

Hindfoot endoscopy involves inserting a small camera and fine surgical instruments through tiny incisions at the back of the ankle. This provides a clear view of the hindfoot structures and allows targeted treatment without extensive tissue damage.

It is especially useful for conditions that are difficult to access with traditional surgery.

Conditions Treated with Hindfoot Endoscopy

Hindfoot endoscopy is commonly used to treat:

• Posterior ankle impingement

• Os trigonum syndrome

• Chronic Achilles tendon pain

• Retrocalcaneal bursitis

• Haglund’s deformity

• Loose bodies in the hindfoot

• Chronic pain at the back of the ankle

It is often recommended when non-surgical treatments fail.
