KS Ortho Care – Specialized Care for Ankle Arthritis
Ankle arthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ankle joint gradually wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It can result from aging, previous injuries, chronic overuse, or inflammatory conditions. Ankle arthritis can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life if left untreated.
Persistent ankle pain, especially during movement
Swelling and tenderness around the joint
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods
Bone spurs or deformities in advanced cases
Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Resulting from fractures, sprains, or ligament injuries
Osteoarthritis: Degenerative wear and tear due to aging or overuse
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Inflammatory autoimmune condition affecting the ankle joint
Other Factors: Obesity, repetitive strain, or joint misalignment
At KS Ortho Care, our orthopedic specialists perform a detailed physical examination and recommend imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the extent of cartilage damage and joint degeneration. Accurate diagnosis is essential to plan effective treatment.
