Dr Tim O'Carrigan discusses the conditions, diagnosis and treatment options for ankle arthritis.
At Macquarie University Hospital, ankle arthroscopy is offered for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, unstable ankle, fractures, ligament repair and other ailments. Minimally invasive approaches for bunion and forefoot reconstruction, including complex bony and soft tissue deformity correction are also available.
Macquarie University Hospital surgeons have expertise in advanced total ankle replacement – including the treatment of ankle arthritis. Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI) – technology that is well-established in hip and knee replacement is used for ankle replacement to increase the accuracy and provide patients with the aim of better long-term results and a lower revision rate.
Our surgeons are skilled in deformity correction, such as post-traumatic congenital or developmental problems such as bone infection, non-union, malunion, limb length discrepancy and malalignment.
