Core Tip	Needle arthroscopy is rapidly attracting the interest of the orthopedic field, as recent technical innovation has increased image quality and improved surgical handling. Bedside needle arthroscopy under local anesthesia has been proposed as a possible use. In this study, we performed needle arthroscopic inspection-injections of the tibiotalar joint in the procedure room and using only local anesthesia. We found high accuracy of these guided injections, and excellent patient tolerability of the procedure. The results of this study may form the groundwork for further expansion of indications that merit needle arthroscopy of the ankle under local anesthesia, including operative procedures.
