Progressive post-traumatic ankle arthrosis treated with total ankle joint replacement: a case review.
This article discusses the joint degeneration progression associated with post-traumatic arthrosis of the ankle. A representative case study of this debilitating condition was outlined, and treatment with total ankle joint replacement was presented. Although ankle arthrodesis continues to be a standard option following the progression of severe post-traumatic osteoarthritis, total ankle replacement is maturing as a viable option for this condition.
