Over time, due to wear and tear, injury, or a condition like arthritis, parts of the ankle can become rough and painful. Modern surgery can fix and repair this damage.
Total ankle replacement
Total ankle joint replacement, also known as ankle arthroplasty, is a surgical treatment for people with advanced ankle arthritis. Arthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ankle joint wears away, causing pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced mobility. This can make everyday activities such as walking, standing and climbing stairs very difficult. Ankle replacement surgery involves removing the damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with artificial components designed to move smoothly and mimic the function of a healthy ankle. Your surgeon may recommend ankle replacement if: You have severe ankle pain that does not improve with non-surgical treatments. Arthritis significantly affects your mobility and quality of life. The ankle joint is stiff or painful despite physiotherapy, medication or injections. Unlike ankle fusion surgery, ankle replacement aims to preserve movement in the joint, which can help maintain a more natural walking pattern.
