Foot & Ankle Arthritis Basics
Ankle arthritis affects patients when the joint between the tibia and the talus (ankle bone) has been worn out. The ankle joint affected by arthritis is called the tibiotalar joint.
Ankle arthritis is a very painful type of arthritis. Ankle arthritis can affect individuals who have had previous ankle injuries, such as ankle sprains and ankle swelling, as well as those who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. Other factors include foot infection (a factor in septic arthritis), genetics, and body weight.
