Joint Replacement
Ankle Joint Replacement
Ankle joint replacement is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pain and improve function in patients with severe ankle arthritis or joint damage. During the procedure, the damaged portions of the ankle joint are removed and replaced with an artificial prosthesis. This helps restore mobility and reduce pain, allowing patients to return to daily activities with improved quality of life. Ankle joint replacement is typically considered when conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, and injections have failed to provide relief. It is a viable option for patients who are looking to preserve joint movement.
Toe Joint Replacement
Toe joint replacement is a surgical procedure that involves replacing a damaged or arthritic toe joint with an artificial prosthesis. It is commonly performed to relieve pain, improve joint function, and restore mobility in patients suffering from conditions like severe arthritis, joint deformities, or trauma. The procedure typically targets the big toe joint (for conditions such as hallux rigidus) but can be applied to other toe joints as well. The goal of toe joint replacement is to alleviate pain while preserving as much natural movement as possible. This surgery can significantly improve a patient's ability to walk and perform daily activities with less discomfort.
