Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis

Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that fuses the ankle joint to relieve chronic pain and improve stability in patients with severe arthritis, deformities, or post-traumatic injuries. At Jaysek Welcare Polyclinic & Diagnostics, our expert foot and ankle surgeons use advanced arthroscopic techniques to provide a faster recovery, reduced pain, and long-term relief.

Who Needs Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis?

✔ End-Stage Ankle Arthritis – Severe pain and stiffness due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis.
✔ Failed Previous Ankle Surgeries – Persistent pain after prior procedures.
✔ Severe Ankle Deformities – Misalignment of the joint leading to instability and difficulty walking.
✔ Post-Traumatic Ankle Injuries – Severe fractures or ligament damage causing chronic pain.
✔ Neuromuscular Conditions – Conditions like Charcot arthropathy leading to ankle instability.

Procedure – Arthroscopic Ankle Fusion

Step 1: Small Incisions & Joint Preparation

🔹 Tiny incisions are made, and an arthroscope (small camera) is inserted for visualization.
🔹 The damaged cartilage is removed to prepare the bones for fusion.

Step 2: Bone Alignment & Fixation

🔹 The ankle bones are aligned in a functional position.
🔹 Screws, plates, or specialized fixation devices are used to stabilize the fusion.

Step 3: Healing & Bone Fusion

🔹 Over time, the bones heal together, forming a stable, pain-free joint.
🔹 The procedure preserves soft tissues, reducing post-operative complications.

Benefits of Arthroscopic Ankle Arthrodesis

✔ Minimally Invasive Approach – Small incisions, less tissue damage, and faster healing.
✔ Pain Relief & Improved Mobility – Eliminates chronic ankle pain while maintaining function.
✔ Reduced Risk of Infection & Complications – Compared to traditional open surgery.
✔ Faster Recovery & Early Weight-Bearing – Many patients begin walking within weeks.
✔ Long-Lasting Stability – Permanent joint fusion ensures long-term durability.

Recovery & Rehabilitation

✔ Immobilization (4-6 Weeks) – Non-weight-bearing in a cast or boot.
✔ Gradual Weight-Bearing (6-12 Weeks) – Transitioning with physiotherapy.
✔ Strength & Mobility Training (3-6 Months) – Exercises to restore walking function.
✔ Full Recovery (6-12 Months) – Fusion is complete, allowing for a pain-free lifestyle.
