Abstract:
Nonsurgical treatment of ankle arthritis can be a short-term fix or a long-term solution. An understanding of the biomechanics of the ankle is helpful in the successful use of orthotics and bracing. Pharmacologic and/or biologic treatments can be used exclusively or in concert with mechanical interventions to decrease pain, improve function, and potentially extend the life span of an arthritic ankle.
