Ankle Replacement Surgery

Ankle replacement surgery is an option when the ankle joint has suffered significant wear and tear resulting from a degenerative condition or injury. A joint injury can lead to osteoarthritis, which is one of the primary reasons that a patient may require partial or total replacement of the joint.

If you are suffering from pain, instability or stiffness in the ankle joint, Silicon Valley Orthopaedics can offer a comprehensive examination to determine if replacement of the joint is necessary. Dr. Nic Gay and Dr. Masi Reynolds will initially explore a more conservative approach involving joint preservation treatment options.

If joint preservation treatments do not produce desired results, replacing the ankle joint may be the most appropriate option. Reducing pain in the ankle, as well as restoring stability and function, is the primary goal of joint replacement at Silicon Valley Orthopedics. Dr. Nic Gay and Dr. Masi Reynolds are accomplished orthopedic surgeons offering individualized joint replacement solutions in California.

Ankle Joint Replacement Consultation

Before recommending ankle joint replacement at our California practice, Dr. Nic Gay or Dr. Masi Reynolds will carry out a clinical examination. Medical history, age, lifestyle, a physical exam and imaging are used to assess the most appropriate approach to treatment at Silicon Valley Orthopedics.

If you are experiencing pain in the ankles, even when at rest, it could indicate significant deterioration in the joint or supporting structures. Seeking treatment, whether through joint preservation or joint replacement, will improve your quality of life.

The ankles support a considerable amount of weight stresses through natural gait. When walking or even standing becomes difficult, seek an accurate diagnosis and treatment from Dr. Nic Gay and Dr. Masi Reynolds at Silicon Valley Orthopaedics in California. We provide affordable solutions for improved ankle joint function through joint restoration or replacement.
