Ankle replacement

Ankle & Foot Clinics Northwest

The ankle joint which is so important for normal walking, fortunately is resistant to forming arthritis. However, if the ankle has been injured in the past, advanced arthritis can set in over time. For those patients with end-stage arthritis of the ankle (limitation of motion and/or worn out joint surfaces) there are relatively few treatment options outside of surgery. For some patients with end-stage ankle arthritis, ankle joint replacement is a viable option.
