Total Ankle Replacement
Advanced joint replacement surgery for end-stage ankle arthritis to preserve motion.
Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) Surgery
Total Ankle Replacement is a surgical procedure used to treat severe ankle arthritis. Unlike ankle fusion, which locks the joint, ankle replacement preserves motion, allowing for a more natural gait and preventing stress on adjacent joints.
Who is a Candidate?
Candidates are typically patients with end-stage osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis who have not found relief from non-surgical treatments. It is ideal for those who wish to maintain an active lifestyle.
The Procedure
Dr. Samarth Ajay Thakkar uses the latest generation of ankle implants. The damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with metal and plastic components that mimic the natural movement of the ankle joint.
