Ankle surgery: Treatment for advanced arthritis

Ankle surgery, such as joint fusion or replacement, can treat pain and improve mobility for people with arthritis of the ankle.

Overview

Ankle surgery is a procedure to treat arthritis when pain and mobility are no longer helped by other treatments. These nonsurgical treatments may include physical therapy, medicines, and supportive shoes or braces.

The type of ankle surgery needed depends on the kind of arthritis, the condition of the joint and the impact of arthritis on daily activities. The most common surgeries for ankle arthritis either fuse bones in the ankle together or replace the ankle joint.
