TAA (Total Ankle Arthroplasty)

Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA) is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged ankle joint with an artificial implant. It is often done for individuals suffering from severe arthritis or joint damage that causes pain and limits mobility. During the surgery, a surgeon removes the damaged joint surfaces and implants a new joint that allows for improved movement and reduced pain. The goal of TAA is to restore function and enhance the quality of life, enabling patients to return to daily activities with less discomfort. Recovery involves rehabilitation to strengthen the ankle and regain mobility.
