"Dr. Ashok Rajgopal, Director of the Orthopaedics Department Fortis Hospitals, New Delhi recently conducted an ankle replacement surgery on a 32-year-old woman, who was suffering from pain in her left ankle due to an accident. Dr Rajgopal tells Shikha Swaroop all about the procedure, which is a first for India."

How does ankle replacement work? Please give us the details of the surgery ?

An ankle replacement works by removing the worn out joint surfaces which are responsible for generating the pain. As a result, the ankle symptoms disappear and when an ankle replacement is performed, the worn out joint surfaces of the end of' the shin bone "tibia" and top of the ankle bone "talus" are removed. This is performed with precise instruments to create a level surface for the implanted prosthesis. The surgeon then places a metal and plastic implant in to the bone ends to function as a new ankle joint.

What is the percentage of Indians suffering from ankle related ailment ?

Of all the patients visiting a busy orthopaedics OPT, ankle pain and related problems account for 1 5-17% of the footfalls.

Is the surgery only applicable to accident cases or also to chronic ankle pain ?

Any condition resulting in a painful ankle with stiffness and restriction of ranges calls for a surgical opinion. The causative condition could he long standing injury, arthritis or any related disorder.

There are several surgical options available for a painful ankle and the choice of surgery depends upon the condition for which treatment is being done.

The surgical options available are : -


  • Arthroscopy
  • Realignment surgery
  • Ankle Fusion
  • Arthroplasty

Is the normal wear and rear or exhaustion of synovial fluid anyway responsible for ankle related ailment? How relevant is arthroplasty in chronic case ?

Ankle arthroplasty is the treatment of choice for patients desiring a pain-free and a mobile ankle joint.

What is the cost factor of the surgery ?

The cost of the surgery is about Rs 2 lakh.

How much time does it take to bounce back to normal life after arthroplasty ?

Pressure on the ankle replacement must be limited with the use of a walker or crutches for several weeks. Complete recovery from an ankle replacement takes about three months.

What is the precaution one should take after undergoing arthroplasty ?

Precautions to be kept in mind after the surgery are : -

  • Regular exercises are a must in order to strengthen the ankle muscles and to increase the range of movement.
  • The patient should be careful not to fall or twist the ankle.
