Severe Ankle Arthritis is a debilitating condition that both limits mobility and compromises a patient's lifestyle. The ankle pain is most coming with the few first steps in the morning and then throbbing in the evening or while sleeping.
This patient was in a severe car accident and was seeking ankle treatment options both conservative and surgical. He had 90% relief from a cortisone injection and we also discussed the new stem cell technology. Additionally, there are new ankle replacements that can offer patients mobility, although the first gold standard treatment and diagnostic examination is the ankle arthroscopic surgery.
New techniques and equipment are also available for ankle fusion surgeries, which is an end stage procedure.
