Lateral and medial ankle arthrocentesis approaches

Medial Approach (tibiotalar)

  • Position: Supine with foot perpendicular to leg
  • Identify and mark sulcus lateral to the medial malleolus and medial to the tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus tendons
  • Plantarflex the foot with needle entering the skin overlying the sulcus
  • Angle the needle slightly cranially as it passes between the medial malleolus and tibialis anterior tendon

Lateral Approach (subtalar)

  • Keep foot perpendicular to leg
  • Enter subtalar joint just below tip of lateral malleolus
  • Direct needle medially toward joint space
