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.
