Total ankle replacement

Total ankle replacement is a type of joint replacement surgery. It’s also called ankle arthroplasty. It replaces the damaged parts of your ankle with artificial parts (made of plastic or metal). These replacement parts move like your natural joint. This treatment is typically for you if you have constant ankle pain that affects your quality of life.

If you need surgery to treat your condition, trust our orthopedic surgeons to use minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. You'll have a lower risk of complications, smaller incisions, and less pain.
