The human ankle is a multifaceted joint complex comprised of three separate joints in the region where the foot and leg meet. It is necessary for these joints to possess a certain degree of strength, as they support the weight of the entire body. Increased strength translates into increased stability leading to higher standards of weight bearing, mobility and adaptability for the entire body. The ankle, in conjunction with the foot, allows us to perform basic human functions such as standing, walking, running and jumping while serving as a connection to the ground. Its physiology allows the ankle to withstand the stress of our body weight as well as the ability to adapt too, and quickly react to changes in environment and walking surface.

Arthritis is known as the degeneration or loss of cartilage in the joint. There are three different types of arthritis: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and traumatic arthritis. The two joints that are affected by arthritis of the ankle are the talocrural joint and the subtalar joint.
Osteoarthritis is commonly found in older adults. Women tend to be more susceptible to osteoarthritis. It is defined as the gradual wearing and degeneration of the cartilage in the joint over time.
Unlike other types of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis is not caused by gradual degeneration or wear-and-tear. Rheumatoid arthritis is actually a systemic autoimmune disease, and will normally affect both joints. Rheumatoid arthritis causes degeneration of the articular cartilage and the fluid that lubricates the joint as well. As the joint loses lubrication and cartilage it begins to cause more friction on the bones, which in turn causes pain and degenerates the area further.
Treatment of ankle arthritis is dependent upon the type and severity of the arthritis.
Avoidance of activities that produce unneeded stress and strain on the joint is the first line of treatment. Then seek the consultation of a specialist to receive a full evaluation and proper diagnosis.
When pain and swelling are reduced the individual’s range of motion and strength will begin to improve. A patient should slowly return to their daily activities. To help control the degeneration process, you should follow the instructions given to you by your medical professional.
