Rheumatoid Ankle Deformity & Rheumatoid Ankle Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis of the ankle results in painful loss of cartilage and usually deformity of the joint. If caught early bracing and orthotic therapy can be used to delay the rheumatoid ankle arthritis process and limit progression of ankle deformity. Lubrication injections can also delay the progress of the rheumatoid ankle arthritis and relieve some pain.

If severe rheumatoid ankle arthritis is noted, fusion or ankle replacement procedures can be used to eliminate pain and resolve a majority of the ankle deformity. Although the procedures are quite difficult due to the softness of the bone, the Foot and Ankle Institute of Claifornia has extensive experience in the treatment of rheumatoid ankle arthritis and debilitating problems.
