Ankle Arthritis - Foot Scientific

Ankle Arthritis is a term used to describe joint and tissue inflammation or degradation of cartilage in the ankle. Ankle Arthritis is often accompanied by pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of motion in the ankle joint.
 



What causes Ankle Arthritis?

There are several factors that can contribute to ankle arthritis. Factors may include:

• Worn down or worn out cartilage. Without cartilage to help cushion the joints the bones can begin to rub together, bone on bone, wearing them down and causing pain. 
• Past injury or trauma to the ankle joint or cartilage like a fracture. 
• Lack of joint use. Lack of movement can cause stiffness and sometimes leads to further inflammation of the ligaments, muscles, and joints.
• Obesity is also a contributing factor as extra weight puts extra pressure on joints and causes stress.
• Genetics can play a part in ankle arthritis as well as some people are predisposed to early joint wear.
