Dr. Steven Neufeld is a pioneer in total ankle replacement surgery. He leads one of the top centers for ankle replacements in the country and can implant four different types of artificial ankles. Total ankle replacement may be recommended for patients over 50 with ankle arthritis or fractures who are moderately active. It provides more natural ankle movement than fusion surgery and customized implants. After surgery, patients undergo rehabilitation including non-impact exercises like biking or water therapy to increase ankle mobility.
