New Choices For Ankle Arthritis

The treatment of severe ankle arthritis has evolved in recent years and new procedures are now available. Patients now have the possibility of ankle fusion, ankle allograft, and total ankle replacement.
Ankle arthroplasty is an alternative to ankle fusion. It provides for superior range of motion. The ultimate durability of the implants is not yet fully understood.
Allograft replacement is an alternative to fusion and prosthetic replacement that is best suited to a younger, more active person. Healthy bone and cartilage are used to replace the damaged ankle joint.
