Hi I'm due to have an ankle joint replaced soon and I'm terrified. The cartledge has worn and its bone against bone. Do you know of many success stories with this type of surgery. I have RA and this is the first joint replacement, I'm 57.

Dear Jodie
Thanks’ for your posting.
The only information we have on ankle replacement surgery is under ‘Ankle replacement’ in our factsheet ‘Osteoarthritis of the ankle’. See http://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/PublicationsandResources/Listedbytype/Factsheets#cK45. Arthritis Research also have information on this at http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/home/search_results.aspx?as_q=ankle+surgery&site=default_collection&num=15&start=0.
It may be worth asking this question on our ‘Living with arthritis’ forum, as there may well be some people on it, who have had this procedure done.
I hope this helps.
Please ring our helplines on 0808 800 4050 if you would like to have a chat, or need more information.
Regards
Nick
