It can be hard to go about your daily life when ankle pain is a constant companion. At Allegheny Health Network (AHN), you have access to some of the latest treatments, including total ankle replacement.
Your ankle is made up of three bones along with cartilage and connective tissue. In addition to helping you move your feet, this joint keeps you stable while standing, running, and jumping.
During ankle replacement surgery, we remove damaged bone and cartilage and replace it with medical-grade metal and plastic. This complex procedure requires a level of surgical expertise you’ll only find in top programs such as AHN.
Even if the pain is with you 24/7, experts at AHN help you find lasting relief. Our team includes nationally recognized orthopaedic surgeons who are dedicated to treating foot and ankle problems.

We also offer many services, including strength training, to lower your risk for future ankle problems. Read more about sports performance services.
