Ankle Arthritis comes in various shapes and sizes. This young 40 year old patient had little options for this size of OCD lesion and he is only six weeks out but off of narcotics and only on Advil. Come experience the difference! Phoenix Foot And Ankle Institute.

Post-traumatic arthritis accounts for over 80% of the ankle arthritis cases our centers see.  We have developed a team of consultants that have expertise in a myriad of treatments for the thousands of ankle arthritis patients out there. It’s painful- come learn a way to get past it. @jamescottom @drjeffmcalister

Painful Total Ankle Arthroplasty can have multiple etiologies. Make sure to check labs, synovial fluid count if necessary, and a SPECT-CT scan works great. This patient was over 13 years out and had no history of wounds or prev. infection. Poly was broken and replaced with a larger one. Tibial component was also loose. Talar component stable. Patient over a year and a half out. #happy #totalanklereplacementsurgery #totalankle #anklerehab #ankle #anklereplacement #anklearthritiscenters #anklearthritis #djo #strykermedical #scottsdale #phoenixsurgeon #phoenix #anklepain

Patients can live with Ankle Arthritis for many years. This 65 year old female had a few ‘ankle sprains’ over the course of her lifetime. She has failed standard conservative measures. She likes to cook and do leisure activities. She does not have RA or any other rheumatologic disorder. She has pain with every step. She would like to know her options. What are your conversations about longevity and expectations? Go! #anklearthritis #totalanklereplacement #anklefusion #ttc #bka #anklereplacements #anklepain #ankle #foot #tibiafracture #necrosis #beentheredonethat #pain #footandanklesurgery

What’s wrong with a simple ankle fusion? Malalignment can reek havoc on the hind foot if not positioned well. Fusion x 10 y old. Feels as though his ankle wants to give out. 🥴🥴 Positioning is key !! #anklearthritis #anklefusion #hindfoot varus #anklepain #footandanklesurgeon #acfas
