Ankle replacement surgery, known medically as total ankle arthroplasty, removes the damaged bone ends of the ankle joint and replaces them with a metal and plastic implant designed to relieve pain while preserving the ankle's natural movement. It is primarily recommended for adults with end-stage ankle arthritis — most often caused by an old injury, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis — whose symptoms have not responded to physiotherapy, bracing, injections, or medication. Unlike ankle fusion, which permanently joins the bones together, ankle replacement aims to keep the joint mobile, making it a preferred choice for older or lower-demand patients with good bone quality and reasonable alignment. The operation is performed under general or regional anaesthesia, typically through an incision along the front of the ankle. Most patients stay in hospital for three to five days, and full recovery, including return to everyday walking and low-impact activities, generally takes six to twelve months.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests for this treatment: Weight-bearing X-rays of foot and ankle (AP and lateral views), CT scan of ankle for surgical planning, MRI of ankle (if avascular necrosis or soft-tissue assessment needed), ECG, CBC, KFT (kidney function tests), LFT (liver function tests), Blood sugar / HbA1c, PT/INR. Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.
