Chronic ankle pain and stiffness can severely limit everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods. These problems often arise from advanced arthritis, previous injuries, or progressive joint degeneration. When non-surgical treatments like medications, physiotherapy, or braces fail to provide relief, surgical care becomes necessary. Ankle Replacement Surgery in Chennai offers an advanced solution to restore joint function. This procedure replaces the damaged ankle with a modern implant that closely replicates natural ankle movement and reduces pain.

Ankle replacements are generally successful in reducing pain and improving mobility for patients with severe arthritis or joint damage. Studies show that around 80–90% of patients experience significant pain relief and better joint function. Success depends on patient health, surgical technique, and adherence to rehabilitation. Long-term outcomes may vary, and some patients may eventually require revision surgery.
Yes, patients can usually walk after an ankle replacement, but recovery is gradual. Initially, weight-bearing may be restricted with crutches or a walker for several weeks. Physical therapy helps restore strength, balance, and range of motion. Most patients can resume normal walking within 3–6 months, while high-impact activities should be avoided to protect the joint.
Yes, ankle replacement is considered major surgery. It involves removing the damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with artificial components. The procedure requires anesthesia, careful alignment of the implant, and a controlled post-surgical rehabilitation plan. As with other major surgeries, there are risks including infection, blood clots, nerve injury, or implant loosening, which require careful monitoring and follow-up.
