Total Ankle Replacement (TAR)

Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or arthritic ankle joint with artificial components, called a prosthesis. It aims to relieve pain, improve joint function, and restore mobility by replacing the worn-out surfaces with durable metal and plastic parts. The procedure is often considered when conservative treatments fail and the joint pain significantly impacts daily activities. TAR preserves more natural movement compared to fusion surgeries, making it a valuable option for suitable patients seeking to regain ankle strength and reduce discomfort.
