Total ankle joint replacement is a surgical procedure used to treat severe ankle arthritis that causes pain, stiffness and difficulty walking. During the operation, the damaged surfaces of the ankle joint are carefully removed and replaced with smooth metal and plastic components that work like a natural joint. The aim of ankle replacement is to reduce pain, improve movement and allow more normal walking, while preserving ankle motion.
