Sumario:Tendoscopy is an apparently safe and reliable procedure to manage some foot and ankle disorders. The most common foot and ankle tendoscopies are: Achilles; peroneal; and posterior tibial tendon. Tendoscopy may be used as an adjacent procedure to other techniques. Caution is recommended to avoid neurovascular injuries. Predominantly level IV and V studies are found in the literature, with no level I studies still available. There are many promising and evolving endoscopic techniques for tendinopathies around the foot and ankle, but studies of higher levels of evidence are needed to strongly recommend these procedures.
