Procedure

Incisions are made by your surgeon in the front of the ankle to view the ankle joint. They will lightly push the tendons, nerves, and blood vessels to the side. Then your surgeon will eliminate damaged bone and cartilage.

Your surgeon will cast off the damaged part of:

• The lower end of your shin bone (tibia)
• The top of your foot bone (talus) on which the leg bone relaxes.

The metal elements of the new artificial joint are then connected to the cut bony surfaces. Unique glue/bone cement may be used to preserve them in region. A piece of plastic is placed in between the 2 metallic parts. Screws may be fixed to stabilize your ankle.

The surgeon will position the tendons back into region and the wound is closed with sutures (stitches). To avoid movement, you might also need to wear a splint, cast or brace.
