Ankle Replacement

Restore Mobility and Relieve Pain

Ankle replacement surgery, also known as total ankle arthroplasty, is an advanced procedure designed to relieve pain and restore function for patients suffering from severe ankle arthritis or damage. At Surgical Solutions Network, our expert orthopedic surgeons provide specialized care, helping patients from Vancouver, British Columbia; Calgary, Alberta; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Toronto, Ontario, and across Canada regain mobility and improve their quality of life.

What Is Ankle Replacement Surgery?

Ankle replacement surgery involves replacing damaged ankle joints with prosthetic components made from durable materials like metal and plastic. Unlike ankle fusion, which limits joint movement, ankle replacement surgery preserves natural joint motion, offering patients better mobility and functionality.

This procedure is performed at Surgical Solutions Network’s state-of-the-art private surgical facilities in Toronto and Calgary, ensuring the highest standards of care.

Who Should Consider Ankle Replacement Surgery?

You may be a candidate for ankle replacement surgery in Canada if you have:

• Chronic ankle damage from injuries or conditions that have not responded to nonsurgical treatments, such as physical therapy or medication.

Our experienced team will carefully assess your condition and recommend the best treatment plan for you.

Your Ankle Replacement Surgery Procedure

The surgery is typically performed under general, spinal, or regional anesthesia and lasts about 2–3 hours. Here’s what to expect:

• An incision is made to access the damaged ankle joint.
• The surgeon removes the affected bone and cartilage.
• Prosthetic components are precisely positioned to replace the joint.
• The ankle is placed in a splint or cast for recovery.

With our expert orthopedic surgeons, you’ll receive the highest level of care throughout the procedure.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery from total ankle arthroplasty includes:

• Hospital Stay: Most patients stay for 1–2 days post-surgery.
• Restricted Movement: Weight-bearing on the operated ankle is limited for several weeks.
• Physical Therapy: Rehabilitation begins shortly after surgery to regain strength and range of motion.
• Full Recovery: Many patients return to daily activities within 3–6 months, with ongoing improvements up to a year.
