Ankle Joint Replacement

Ankle joint replacement is a surgical procedure where damaged or arthritic parts of the ankle joint are removed and replaced with artificial components. It aims to restore pain-free movement and improve function by mimicking the natural joint’s shape and motion. Typically considered for severe arthritis or injury, the procedure involves removing damaged cartilage and bone, then attaching metal and plastic parts to recreate a smooth, stable joint. Recovery includes rest, physical therapy, and gradual weight-bearing, helping patients return to daily activities with reduced pain and improved mobility.
