Effective Total Ankle Arthroplasty for Improved Mobility
Total Ankle Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a damaged ankle joint with an artificial joint. This is typically done to alleviate pain and improve mobility in patients with severe arthritis or other conditions that have caused significant damage to the ankle joint. During the procedure, the surgeon will remove the damaged joint and replace it with a prosthetic joint made of metal and plastic components. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual patient and the extent of the surgery, but most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few months.
