2. What is it?
Foot and ankle arthritis impedes movement and
motion, directly affecting the ability to walk
causing stiffness, redness, pain, and deformities.
Owing to the fact that each foot houses 28 bones
and over 30 joints, arthritis (meaning “disease or
inflammation of a joint”) can affect the foot and
ankles in a number of painful ways.

3. Three types of arthritis pose the
greatest danger to the foot and ankle:
osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis),
rheumatoid arthritis, and
posttraumatic arthritis (considered
secondary osteoarthritis). Of these,
degenerative arthritis is the most
common, affecting most patients in
middle age but known to hit younger
people too.

4. A substance surrounds the
end of these bones, known as
articular cartilage that helps
the bones slide over each
other, facilitating movement.
This cartilage recedes due to
what is now a progressive
joint deterioration and is lost
over time, producing lumps of
bone around the joint, called
bone spurs.

5. What are
the
symptoms?
Since the affected body part
here is the foot, it is safe to
assume that the major
system of arthritis of the foot
and ankle should be a
difficulty to walk. Arthritis
patients have described the
feeling as “walking on
pebbles”. In fact, symptoms
can range from mild foot
related problems to a general
difficulty.

6. Namely, the symptoms of
foot and ankle arthritis are
joints feeling stiff, hot, tender,
painful, swelled, and
inflamed. Your range of
motion will also be widely
affected to the point of being
severely reduced, if not
impossible.

7. How is it diagnosed?
The diagnosis of arthritis is an extensive
process, drawing on the patient’s medical
history as well as physical tests, including
a gait analysis. Simply the way that a
patient might limp can help a doctor
ascertain the nature of your arthritis, right
down to the location.

8. The patient’s history will determine
the nature of injuries that might have
been sustained in the past. A detailed
discussion with the doctor can help to
get to the root of the symptoms,
including the symptoms being
experienced elsewhere as well.

9. However, there are surgical options
available as well. Even in the early
stages of arthritis, arthroscopic
debridement can be helpful.
Debridement, which essentially means
cleaning, targets the affected joint and
removes the bone spurs, inflamed
synovial tissue, and remnants of loose
cartilage.
