What happens during
Ankle Fusion Surgery Abroad
Anaesthesia
The procedure is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia, depending on your health and surgeon recommendation.
Surgical Process
The surgeon removes the damaged cartilage from the ankle joint and carefully realigns the bones. Metal screws, plates, or rods are then used to hold the bones together securely so they can heal as one solid unit.
Implants
Most ankle fusion implants are made from high-quality titanium plates and screws for long-term stability and secure bone fusion.
Duration
The surgery typically takes 2 to 3 hours.
Hospital Stay
Most patients stay in hospital for 2 to 3 nights, where they begin early recovery and receive pain management and physiotherapy support.
This procedure aims to relieve long-term pain and improve stability for people with severe arthritis or previous joint damage.
We ensure your experience is smooth, safe, and focused entirely on your recovery.

- Week 6-12: Gradual increase in mobility. Begin partial weight bearing.
- 3-6 Months: Improved walking and strength. Full fusion confirmed by imaging.
