Abstract
- Treatment of osteoarthritis of the ankle joint is similar to that of any other large joint and includes conservative and surgical treatments. Surgical option in severe osteoarthritis is joint fusion or joint replacement, whereas conservative treatment is limited and includes mainly ankle supports, physical therapy, and oral medication. Hyaluronic acid was discovered in 1934 and now has been widely used in the knee and shoulder joints. We reviewed the articles about an intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the ankle joint.
