Non-Surgical Options Before Surgery
Not every case of ankle arthritis requires surgery. Before recommending a total ankle replacement, we may try conservative treatments such as:
- Custom orthotics and bracing
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Cortisone injections
- Physical therapy
- Activity modification
If these methods do not relieve your ankle pain, surgical intervention may be the next step.
