Total Ankle Replacement

Total Ankle Replacement is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Total ankle replacement, also known as total ankle arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at alleviating pain and restoring function in individuals with severe arthritis or joint damage affecting the ankle. This procedure involves removing the damaged portions of the ankle joint and replacing them with artificial components. The prosthetic components mimic the natural motion of the ankle, allowing for improved mobility and reduced pain. Total ankle replacement is considered for patients who have exhausted conservative treatments and experience persistent pain and functional limitations due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. While not as common as hip or knee replacements, advances in surgical techniques and implant design have increased the success and durability of total ankle replacements, offering a viable option for individuals seeking relief from debilitating ankle joint conditions.
