Ankle Arthritis: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Ankle Arthritis: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Ankle arthritis is a condition where the ankle joint becomes inflamed and painful due to damage to the joint’s cartilage. This cartilage is responsible for cushioning the bones and allowing smooth movement. When it is damaged, the bones rub against each other, causing pain, stiffness, and difficulty in movement. This condition can affect people of all ages but is more common in older adults.
