Arthritis of the Ankle Joint: Joint Preservation and Joint Sacrificing-When and How?
Instructional Course Lectures
|January 2, 2025
Abstract:
Ankle arthritis is a severely disabling condition. Treatment poses many unique challenges to orthopaedic surgeons because ankle kinematics differs from that seen in the hip or knee joint and the loads transmitted through the ankle are greater during activity. Historically, motion-sacrificing procedures dominated management of ankle arthritis. It is important to review the updates on joint-preserving and joint-sacrificing strategies for the management of ankle arthritis.

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...
