The goal of an ankle fusion (also known as ankle arthrodesis) is to relieve pain and maintain or improve function for patients with ankle arthritis. Ankle arthritis occurs when there is a break down of the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones that form the ankle joint. Moving the arthritic ankle tends to make the pain worse.
In ankle fusion surgery, the ankle bones are fused together and become one bone as they heal. This eliminates the joint motion and reduces pain coming from the arthritic joint.
