Total Ankle Replacement

An example of joint replacement surgery is a total ankle replacement. Ankle arthroplasty is another name for it. It uses prosthetics to replace the ankle’s broken portions (plastic or metal parts). Together, these new components move like your natural joint does.

Surgery to replace the worn-out bone and cartilage in the ankle joint is known as an ankle replacement. Prosthetics are utilised to replace your own bones in the joints. Ankle replacement operations come in several forms. The ankle joint is a crucial one.

A healthy individual with ankle arthritis who has little to no deformity or ankle misalignment is the ideal candidate for an ankle replacement. In general, people who are less active and not overweight will benefit from an ankle replacement the most.
