Let\u2019s take a look at the medical conditions that may benefit from ankle replacement surgery.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Osteoarthritis<\/strong>, also called degenerative or wear-and-tear arthritis, occurs when the cartilage in the ankle joint gradually wears away. This deterioration over time leads to roughened joint surface and eventually wears down until bone is grinding against bone.<\/li><li><strong>Rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect the ankle joint. It occurs when your immune system erroneously attacks the synovium, which is the delicate lining of the ankle joint capsule that produces a lubricating fluid. As a result, the synovium becomes inflamed and thickened, wearing down the cartilage (and tendons) and causing pain and deformity.<\/li><li><strong>Inflammatory arthritis<\/strong> refers to any form of arthritis that causes inflammation in the ankle joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis, but not all inflammatory ankle arthritis cases are due to rheumatoid arthritis. Other inflammatory conditions can also cause ankle arthritis. Therefore, consulting with an ankle specialist is crucial in order to accurately determine the underlying cause and establish an appropriate treatment plan.<\/li><li><strong>Traumatic arthritis<\/strong> develops after an injury to your joint such as a fracture or a dislocation of the joint. Over time, the cartilage in the joint gradually deteriorates, resembling the development of osteoarthritis. This, however, may be some years after the injury.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-becd4e3 e-con-full main__section e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"becd4e3\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"section-3\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98fca74 e-con-full main__heading-wrapper e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"98fca74\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d7af5de main__heading-seo elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d7af5de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Surgery for ankle arthritis Perth<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-981915a main__heading elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"981915a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ankle replacement surgery <span class=\"heading-accent\">explained<\/span><\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-477d4e1 e-con-full main__body-wrapper e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"477d4e1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-332e73d text-block elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"332e73d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ankle replacement surgery, also called total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a surgical treatment option to relieve ankle pain and maintain motion in an arthritic or injured ankle joint.\u00a0<\/p><p>In <strong>ankle replacement surgery<\/strong>, we replace the joint surfaces with an artificial joint that still allows for movement whilst relieving pain.
