Why Ankle Replacement Is Needed

Recommended for severe ankle arthritis, whether osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis after old fractures, that causes disabling pain and stiffness unresponsive to conservative treatments like medications, injections, or bracing. It's considered when joint damage significantly limits walking and quality of life.

Signs You May Need Ankle Replacement

Chronic ankle pain during walking or standing, swelling, stiffness, and a noticeable reduction in the ankle's range of motion are typical. Some patients also develop a change in gait or deformity of the joint as the arthritis progresses.

Types of Ankle Replacement

Total ankle replacement uses a two- or three-component prosthetic implant to resurface the joint while preserving natural ankle motion, as an alternative to ankle fusion which eliminates motion but is more durable in some cases. Newer implant designs and mobile-bearing systems aim to better replicate natural ankle mechanics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an ankle replacement last?

Modern implants typically last 10-15 years or more, though this varies with activity level and bone quality.

Is ankle fusion a better option than replacement?

Both have trade-offs; fusion is more durable but eliminates ankle motion, while replacement preserves motion but may need revision sooner, so the right choice depends on your age, activity, and joint condition.

How long is recovery?

Full recovery takes about 3-6 months, with weight-bearing restrictions in the initial weeks followed by gradual physiotherapy.

What are the risks?

Risks include implant loosening, infection, and wound healing problems, particularly in patients with diabetes or poor circulation.

Can I return to sports after ankle replacement?

Low-impact activities are generally encouraged, but high-impact sports are usually discouraged to protect the implant long-term.
