Is arthritic pain in your feet and ankles affecting our ability to fully live your life? Studies have shown that heightened activity levels are associated with reduced arthritic pain. Seeing a dedicated foot and ankle specialists could help you regain your mobility.

The podiatric physicians and surgeons from Ankle and Foot Care Centers specialize in treating foot and ankle conditions that can cause pain and affect your active life. We offer a spectrum of proven therapy options ranging from conventional procedures to the latest technology-based approaches.

New technologies are continually being made available to the medical community. Recently, the STAR™ Ankle was approved by the FDA after over 20 years of availability in Europe. The STAR™ Ankle is a total ankle replacement prosthesis, which may be a safe, clinically superior choice (to fusion) for certain patients with post traumatic, osteo or rheumatoid ankle arthritis.

Published results from long term studies both in the U.S. and in Europe have been very positive, with the most recent one indicating 92% of patients were satisfied with their implant at an average of 9.1 years after surgery.

This is only one of several treatment options available to manage ankle arthritis offered at Ankle & Foot Care Centers. If you would like to learn more about ankle replacement surgery and your treatment options, please contact your nearest office in Ohio or Pennsylvania today.
