Ankle Arthritis

Ankle arthritis is most commonly the result of prior trauma to the ankle joint. Ankle fractures and other injuries may damage the cartilage, which leads to accelerated arthritis. Patients with ankle injuries are also susceptible to osteonecrosis, a condition where blood flow is decreased to a portion of the bone. Osteonecrosis can also lead to ankle arthritis.

Ankle Fusion
The Arthrex Ankle Fusion Plating System provides a complete solution for ankle fusion with a comprehensive offering of anatomy-specific titanium plates for both tibiotalar and tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodeses.
DualCompression Hindfoot Nail
The DualCompression hindfoot fusion nail is intended to facilitate tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis to treat severe foot/ankle deformity, arthritis, instability, and skeletal defects. The superelastic nitinol inner core of the nail provides sustained compression across both joints when instrumentation is removed during bone resorption or joint settling.
Triple Arthrodesis
A triple arthrodesis is the fusion of the subtalar, calcaneocuboid, and talonavicular joints. Arthrex has developed 5.0 mm Large and 7.0 mm XL Compression FT Screws and DynaNite® Nitinol staples as options for this procedure. After removing any remaining cartilage and subchondral bone and applying biologic materials to accelerate fusion, apply fixation to compress and stabilize the joint.
