Ankle replacement surgery is one type of total joint replacement. Also known as ankle arthroscopy. As a result, prosthetics might be used to replace the injured areas of the ankle (plastic or metal parts). These replacement pieces function as a normal joint would. Ankle pain that interferes with daily life is the typical patient for this ankle arthritis treatment.
Extreme arthritis or post-traumatic joint deterioration cases warrant consideration for this significant surgery. Extensive wear and tear between the tibia and the talus can result in chronic pain even when at rest and make it impossible to do routine everyday tasks. Total ankle replacement has shown the highest success in patients over the age of 60, who often put less strain on their ankles than younger people. There has been some success with this procedure in younger patients, but the durability of the joint replacement is still an open question. An ankle fusion may be a preferable option for someone who is younger or more physically active. Ankle replacement surgery should only be considered if the joint can move freely and there is no substantial foot deformity.
Arthritis in the ankle is often treated with a total ankle replacement operation. Whenever there are alterations to the cartilage (tough tissue) that lines a joint, arthritis is likely to occur. As time progresses, cartilage deteriorates, becoming thinner and rougher. Age-related wear and strain can lead to arthritis in the ankle. Recurrent ankle injuries, ankle fractures, and other diseases might also contribute to this problem.
