Total ankle replacement is a procedure used to treat ankle arthritis. By replacing the ankle joint and allowing motion to occur, it provides an alternative to ankle arthrodesis. Ankle Replacement Surgery helps to remove pain, swelling and preserve motion in the arthritic ankle joint.
Types of ankle arthritis are:
- Osteoarthritis- This is “wear and tear” inflammatory disease that develops in older adults.
- Rheumatoid arthritis- This is a system wide autoimmune disease that affects the joints.
- Posttraumatic arthritis- This can happen due to a past injury of your joint.
The stitches are removed about 10 days post surgery. For about 2-3 weeks from the date of surgery patient should not bear weight on his ankle. After 2 months after your surgery, he will transition into a shoe with an ankle brace and may start non-impact activities.
