Ankle Replacement Surgery  
Ankle replacement surgery is performed to replace
the damaged articular surfaces of the three bones
of the ankle joint with artificial implants. This
procedure is now being preferred to arthrodesis
(fusion of the bones) because ankle replacement
surgery restores range of motion to the joint.
The surgery is normally offered to patients with
arthritis who do not suffer from osteoporosis of
the ankle..

How does the ankle replacement surgery
work? Ankle replacement involves replacing the
natural surfaces of the ankle joint which have
degenerated with an artificial cover known as
prosthesis. The ankle replacement has three
components. Two of the components cover the joint
and in the middle there is a third, mobile
component. This allows for greater movement and
reduces the stress between the bone and the
implants.
