Following is the video narration.

“The ankle joint is also …to a lot of stress being a bearing joint. The problems that we generally find there is joint wear arthritis and instability. People who have gone through ankle sprains, under repetitive occasions may have a recurrent instability. So what we do on the ankle is ankle arthroscopy to evaluate the articular structures. Sometimes we will find something there that can be addressed entirely arthroscopic and if there is an instability sometimes we do need a reconstruction of the ligaments that give stability to the ankle so that are joint preserving procedures, that we generally do on the ankles.

When we have a patient with a severe joint arthritis, the procedure that we mostly do is a joint fusion, an ankle fusion. Upto, in our experience here in Juarez, we have seen that the overall prognosis is better with a well done ankle fusion than with the joint replacement of the ankle. There is still a lot to see on the ankle replacement and ……advances in the future but right now what’s given us better is ..ankle fusion and that’s with the aim to eliminate pain.

We have had some patients that can’t do their regular activities due to pain. After the fusion they regain their normal activities and can go back to work as they were used to. So those are the procedures that we do on the ankle.”

” That’s same as any other procedure. We need to take care of the wound for the surgical incision, for 2-3 weeks, remove stitches and start with a rehab program. There in the fusion, we do need to wait for a period of consolidation, the bone, that is being fused and that generally takes around two months. So those 2 months, the patient has to eliminate weight bearing. They have to use some crutches or walker so that they won’t be walking on their ankle.

Once we see radiographic signs of consolidation fusion then we can permit the patient to start bearing weight progressively and their progress to complete or total weight bearing. The diet issues are as any other patient. We just try to keep it good by well inside and take care of a lot of weight control as well because that is also something that interferes with the prognosis of any joint fusion.”
