Ankle Arthroplasty

Ankle arthroplasty, or ankle joint replacement, is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and restore mobility in people with severe ankle arthritis or injury. During the procedure, damaged bone and cartilage in the ankle joint are removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal and plastic. This new joint allows for smoother movement and reduces discomfort, helping patients regain their ability to walk and perform daily activities. Recovery involves rehabilitation to strengthen the ankle and improve function, aiming to enhance the patient’s quality of life.
