Ankle Osteoarthritis: Restore Pain-Free Movement

Ankle osteoarthritis is a chronic condition that slows down your daily life. It causes wear of the joint cartilage, affecting the stability and function of the joint connecting the shin to the foot. Although less common than knee or hip arthritis, its symptoms are equally limiting.

What are the causes?

• Post-traumatic origin: Fractures, ligament tears, and injuries account for 80% of cases.

• Risk factors: Obesity, age, and inadequate recovery after injury.

• Chronic wear: The passage of time leaves its mark on the joint.

Symptoms you should not ignore:

• Pain: Starts during movement and becomes constant in advanced stages.

• Swelling: Puffiness, especially at the end of the day.

• Stiffness: Limited movement and difficulty walking.

• Deformity: Bowing or knock-knee of the foot.

Don’t let osteoarthritis limit your movement!
