Until recently, the surgical options for severe ankle pain were limited. Now, those who suffer from arthritis or injury, have a new treatment designed to relieve pain and restore mobility. Foot&AnkleONE specialist, Dr. Scott D. Karr, is the region’s first surgeon to offer the INBONE™ Total Ankle procedure developed by Wright Medical Technology. In comparison to previous ankle replacements, the ONE Total Ankle procedure is a bone-conserving approach that is less invasive. Its design allows for more secure fixation, more precise implant fit and more natural movement. Initial recovery time is approximately six weeks, with little or no rehabilitation required. Thanks to the ONE Total Ankle procedure, patients who have undergone ankle fusion in the past can regain mobility and return to activities such as walking, riding a bicycle or simply wearing different shoe styles.
If you or a loved one have been forced to give up an active lifestyle due to ankle pain or instability, call 260-484-8551 to schedule a consultation today. Find out if the ONE Total Ankle procedure is right for you.
