What is Arthritis? Latin for inflammation of a Joint
Arthros = joint it is = inflammation
Arthritis – leading cause of disability in US Several different types All lead to destruction of the cartilage

Types of Ankle Arthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) “Wear and tear” Slow and progressive loss of cartilage
Rheumatoid Arthritis Immune system destroys cartilage Often many joints attacked at the same time
Post-traumatic Arthritis Often after injury to ankle (sprain or fracture) Can occur months or years after an injury

What Causes my Pain?
Damaged and Flaking Cartilage Can float in joint and get caught at times Ankle feels unstable and locks at times
Bone on Bone Contact Ankle makes a grinding noise at times Swelling and Stiffness Ligaments loosen and ankle feels unstable
Bone spurs or extra bone around joints Loss of ankle motion Spurs can hit each other causing severe pain
episodes

What are my symptoms?
Pain worse with prolonged exercise/activity worse with first steps after resting
Stiffness Morning stiffness the worst Joint is stiffer/harder to move over time
Swelling by end of the day Joint feels unstable at times and “gives
out” Episodes of severe pain and joint locking

Surgical Treatments• Arthroscopic Debridement
– Early stages– Small incisions/camera used to clean joint
• Arthrodesis (fusion)– Advanced arthritis– Fuse joint into single bone– Good outcomes, long recovery from surgery
• Arthroplasty (Joint replacement)– Advanced arthritis– Replace joint with implant– Preserves joint motion, but implant may loosen or
fail over time

Ankle Arthrodesis (fusion)
Always walk with a limp and shorter leg Success requires joints below and in front
of the ankle to be normal 100% arthritis rate at 20 years in other
joints Fusion rate 83% Average 17.5 weeks to solid fusion Residual discomfort 8-20% 2% amputation rate for salvage
![Page 29: Dr. Alan G. Lewis Eastern Oklahoma Orthopedic Center MKT 16088 Rev B](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649dc75503460f94abc7dc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Ankle Arthrodesis (fusion)
Malunion =poor position of fusion
Nonunion = failure of bones to fuse
Both will require another surgery to fix!!

Ankle Arthroplasty Wound may have trouble healing Infections are concern with all joint
replacements Will require antibiotics with any procedure
Parts may wear over time Good outcomes require surgeon skilled in
this procedure

Arthroplasty vs. ArthrodesisJOINT REPLACEMENT (STAR
ANKLE)1 FUSION Enables motion at the joint Provides predictable pain
relief (comparable to fusion) Can correct significant
deformities of the ankle Moderate ‘non-weight
bearing’ healing time (2-6 weeks)
6% revision rate @ 5 years2
May require device replacement (90% survivability of implant at 10 years)3
Locks ankle joint at fixed position
Provides predictable pain relief
Can correct significant deformities of the ankle
Prolonged ‘non-weight bearing’ healing time (2-4 months)
10% non-union rate4
May lead to arthritis in other joints of foot

DRIVING AFTER ANKLE/FOOT SURGERIES/INJURIES
The decision to drive after an orthopedic injury or surgery is fraught with legal and safety issues. Although driving is an important part of most patients lives, there are no well established guidelines for determining when it is safe to drive after injury or treatment.
Patients should not drive with a cast or brace on the right leg.
It can impair braking ability and reaction times.
