Osteoarthritis of the ankle leads to tenderness, pain, swelling, stiffness, and even an inability to bear the weight that in turn changes how you walk leading to additional stress on other parts of the foot and an increased likelihood of additional injury. 

When arthritis reaches a point where the quality of life is significantly compromised, one of several invasive surgical interventions may be recommended including ankle fusion, a procedure that uses screws to severely limit ankle mobility, or ankle joint replacement, a complex procedure that involves replacing a part of the extremely complex ankle joint. Both of these surgical options come with significant downtime and need for pain management.

During this outpatient procedure, our expert physicians use precise image guidance to inject custom concentrations of your body’s natural healing agents into the exact areas of damage to tighten and stabilize your ankle for better function and mobility. Best of all, your downtime will be a fraction of surgery, with little to no need for opioid pain medications or time off of work.
