Restoring Function & Mobility of Your Ankles
Slip and fall accidents, as well as ankle sprain, are among the common causes of ankle joint injuries.
As a weight-bearing joint, patients commonly experience ankle pain and limited range of motion while walking, running, or jumping. Without adequate and prompt treatment, the affected ankle can deteriorate, leading to instability of the joint and the condition called ankle arthritis.
Symptoms of Ankle Arthritis
The ankle joint is composed of the bones of the lower leg, and the bone on top of the foot called the Talus (also known as the Tibiotalar joint).
Over time, the tibiotalar joint can lose its smooth cartilage covering due to repeated ankle injuries, fractures, or certain medical conditions. This condition is what we call ankle arthritis.
The common symptoms are:
Debilitating pain that usually starts at night or after sleeping for a few days
- Swelling
- Stiffness
- Unstable gait
- Difficulty ambulating
- Unable to bear weight
Our Ankle Replacement Procedures
At Granite Orthopaedics, we treat our patients, not the diagnosis, and seek the best treatment plans, which may include physical therapy, to address the pain and restore mobility and flexibility. We find conservative or non-surgical treatments often provide pain relief, improve the quality of life, and help patients return to their active lifestyles.
When non-surgical options are deficient and unable to achieve the desired results for treating ankle arthritis, we recommend ankle replacement (also called ankle arthroplasty). Through well-researched clinical trials and advanced technology, we have developed safe and effective procedures, enhancing the quality of orthopedic care we provide to our patients.
With ankle replacement surgery, our highly credentialed orthopedic surgery team is committed to giving relief from pain and addressing all issues affecting your injured ankle. We will also offer an exercise conditioning program to strengthen the target muscles in the affected joint.
Total ankle replacement surgery (also known as total ankle arthroplasty) can allow you to enjoy a life that’s free from pain, discomfort, or immobility. Schedule an appointment today for a complete evaluation to discuss the best care option for you.
