Arthrodiastasis

Joint Preservation Through Controlled Distraction

Specialized Care to Reduce Pain and Protect Ankle Function

Arthrodiastasis is a treatment approach used to relieve joint pressure and promote healing in patients with advanced ankle arthritis or joint damage. By gently separating the joint surfaces with an external device, this technique reduces stress on the cartilage and allows improved mobility while slowing the progression of joint deterioration. It is often chosen by patients who want to delay or avoid joint fusion or total ankle replacement.

We begin with a thorough evaluation to determine whether arthrodiastasis is the right option based on your symptoms, joint condition, lifestyle goals, and imaging results. Treatment involves placing an external fixator that helps offload the joint while still allowing controlled movement, which encourages cartilage health and reduces inflammation. Throughout treatment, we monitor your progress closely and provide guidance on activity, mobility, and long-term joint protection.

Our goal is to decrease pain, improve joint function, and preserve mobility for as long as possible. With personalized care and modern joint-preserving techniques, we help you maintain an active lifestyle while managing chronic ankle issues.
