Ankle Osteoarthritis

One of the most difficult joints to treat surgically, but one of the most debilitating when in pain and with loss of function.

It has recently been proven that early onset osteoarthritis follows even relatively minor lateral ankle sprains if not treated well at the time.

It is important during your examination to understand how much range of motion you have and how much pain you are in when walking.

We use a combination of corticosteroid and Ostenil injections to manage the deterioration and pain, and may use a heel lift or orthotic if needed.
