Article Synopsis
- Ankle osteoarthritis (AOA) causes pain and functional limitations, often requiring treatments like arthrodesis, which stabilizes the ankle and preserves gait.
- The study involved three male patients aged 49 to 63 with secondary AOA who were treated with a minimally invasive surgical technique, resulting in a short hospital stay and immediate post-op mobility support.
- After monitoring recovery over six months, the patients experienced significant pain relief and improved function, with AOFAS scores rising from preoperative levels of 27-39 to 68-86.
