Arthritis, Joint Replacement, and Joint Fusion

Arthritis in the feet and ankles can make every step painful and limit the activities you enjoy. At LoneStar Foot & Ankle Group, we diagnose and treat a wide range of foot and ankle arthritis, offering both conservative care and advanced surgical options such as joint replacement and joint fusion when needed. We care for patients from Granbury, Acton, Stephenville, and Glen Rose, Texas.

Understanding Foot & Ankle Arthritis

Arthritis is a condition that causes joints to become inflamed, stiff, and painful. In the feet and ankles, arthritis may develop from normal wear and tear over time, previous injuries, or underlying medical conditions. It can affect one joint or many, and symptoms often worsen with standing and walking.

Common signs of foot and ankle arthritis include:

Conservative Treatment Options

Whenever possible, we begin with nonsurgical treatments to reduce pain and improve function. Your personalized plan may include:

These approaches are designed to ease discomfort, protect the joints, and help you stay active in daily life. Our team will review your options in clear, friendly language so you can make informed choices.

Joint Replacement and Joint Fusion

When arthritis is advanced and conservative care is no longer providing relief, surgery may be recommended to address pain and improve stability. At LoneStar Foot & Ankle Group, we offer advanced procedures including:

• Joint Replacement – Removing damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with specialized components designed to preserve motion while reducing pain.

• Joint Fusion – Removing damaged cartilage and permanently joining bones so they move as one, eliminating painful motion and providing a stable, supportive joint.

Reconstructive Surgery for Complex Arthritis

In some cases, arthritis occurs along with deformities, previous injuries, or other structural problems. Reconstructive foot and ankle surgery can realign bones, correct deformity, and restore a more natural position for standing and walking.

Our goal with reconstructive procedures is to reduce pain, improve function, and support long term joint health. We work with you to develop a surgical plan that fits your goals and daily activities.

Recovery and Long Term Joint Health

After any arthritis treatment—whether conservative or surgical—ongoing care is important. We provide follow up visits to monitor healing, adjust your treatment plan, and address questions as you return to work and daily activities.

Many patients benefit from continued use of supportive footwear, orthotics, or braces to protect their joints and reduce stress on healing areas. We also offer guidance on activity levels and lifestyle changes that can help you maintain results and stay mobile over time.

When to Call Us

You should seek evaluation if you experience:

Early attention to arthritis can often reduce pain and may delay or prevent the need for more extensive procedures.
