Ankle Surgery Options go back to the surgery options menu Arthritis of the ankle can be quite painful. Two options exist for the ankle. Fusion of the ankle is the most common form of treatment. Fusion makes the ankle stiff but is very effective in reducing pain. Total ankle replacement is another option. The joint surfaces are resurfaced with metal and plastic much like a total knee replacement.Patient Education information provided by Biomet, Inc. - Advanced Science for Real Living™ |
