Ankle Arthritis
The ankle joint is especially susceptible to pain from arthritis as it bears the weight of the entire body, as well as absorbing the body’s full impact. Arthritis is common in ankles from general “wear and tear” that comes from a lifetime of use. Ankle arthritis occurs when the cartilage that protects the joint wears away, causing painful bone-on-bone rubbing. People who suffer from severe ankle arthritis pain may be candidates for total ankle replacement. Step Lively Foot & Ankle Centers specialize in this complex surgery that allows patients to retain more mobility and movement than previous procedures.
Call Step Lively Foot & Ankle Centers for the experienced help and expert surgical care you need, or request an appointment online.
