Ankle Fusion Protocols

Ankle fusion protocols are structured treatment plans that guide the surgical procedure to permanently join the bones in the ankle joint. This is done to relieve pain from severe arthritis or injury. The process involves removing damaged cartilage, positioning the bones correctly, and fixing them together with screws or plates. Post-surgery, protocols include carefully planned phases of immobilization, gradual weight-bearing, and physical therapy to promote healing. The goal is to achieve stable bone fusion, reduce pain, and restore functional movement. These protocols are tailored to each patient’s health, injury severity, and recovery response to ensure optimal outcomes.
