Ankle replacementHow does an ankle replacement work?
An ankle replacement works by removing the worn out joint surfaces which are generating the pain and as a result the ankle symptoms disappear. Replacing them with a mobile weight bearing surface means that existing ankle movement can be retained. Adequate muscle and tendon function is required.
How are the ankle replacement components fixed to bone?
Both components have bioactive coatings which encourage the growth of your own bone onto them, forming a natural bond.
