Though there is no cure for ankle arthritis, there are a number of methods to reduce symptoms for those who are suffering. One of those methods is a total ankle replacement. A total ankle replacement is surgical procedure where damaged parts of the ankle are replaced with metal and plastic to improve ankle movement and decrease pain.
