This usually manifests itself as pain with every step, which makes walking over longer distances impossible. Although the degenerative process in the ankle joint develops much less frequently than in the other large joints, the number of patients with this clinical picture is steadily increasing. The logical conclusion usually applies here: <strong>the higher the degree of osteoarthritis, the worse the symptoms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>During normal walking, the forces transmitted to the ankle joint are five times the body weight. The cartilage of the ankle joint has different mechanical properties and a different metabolism than the cartilage of the hip and knee joints. It is thinner and less flexible. In contrast to the hip, the strength of the ankle cartilage only gradually decreases with age.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

This is because the joint cartilage is usually damaged in ankle fractures and almost half of the cartilage cells die within 2 days, which represents <strong>significant damage to the joint <\/strong>. The more complex the fracture and the less precise the repair, the greater the likelihood of subsequent joint wear and tear.
