Don’t Put Off a Total Ankle Replacement

A total ankle replacement sounds intimidating and like something you’d need after a traumatic injury, but did you know that arthritis is the primary reason you might need the procedure? Everyone has been trained to accept that your body’s aches and pains are just a part of life, but that isn’t always the case. In this day of modern medicine, there are great solutions for everyday problems.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Total Ankle Replacement?

While surgery is not the first option for reducing and relieving ankle pain, severe cases of ankle deformity and disease can be remedied with ankle surgery. Typically, Dr. Clancy of the Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County may recommend lifestyle changes to help alleviate moderate cases and occasionally joint injections of cortisone, or regenerative medicine techniques can be utilized. However, if you are still experiencing pain to the point where it prevents you from doing day to day activities, then you could be a candidate for joint replacement.

Is Surgery Worth It?

If you are someone that struggles with walking or doing any basic movements with your ankle, wouldn’t you want to get back to being mobile? With its high success and satisfaction rate, total ankle replacement surgery is worth it.
