Ankle Arthrodesis (Ankle Fusion)
If you have severe arthritis in your ankle, an ankle arthrodesis should reduce your pain and allow you to do more of your normal activities.
Arthritis is a group of conditions that cause damage to one or more joints.
The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis, where there is gradual wear and tear of a joint.
Some other types of arthritis are associated with inflammation of the joints that can eventually lead to severe joint damage.
Arthritis eventually wears away the normal cartilage covering the surface of the joint and the bone underneath becomes damaged.
