For advanced painful arthrosis of the upper ankle joint, if all conservative therapeutic approaches have been exhausted, and depending on the age and activity level of the patient, the upper and lower ankle joint can be stiffened\/\/\/reinforced? or a full prosthetic upper ankle joint can be implanted. Since the two procedures have comparable results in older patients, an individualized care decision must be made on a case-by-case basis. For younger patients with a high level of activity, ankle arthrodesis is often preferable, as function and resilience are high once healed and no subsequent operations are necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
