Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory disease, primarily affects synovial joints, leading to progressive joint damage, pain, and physical limitations. (1) RA frequently involves the feet and ankles, where synovitis results in pain, stiffness, and joint destruction, often altering foot mechanics and heightening fall risk, thereby diminishing quality of life. (2) Although clinical exams help in identifying synovitis, their accuracy in RA assessment can be limited.(1) Historically, end-stage rheumatoid ankle arthritis has been managed with ankle arthrodesis to achieve pain relief and joint stability. (2) However, Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA) offers a promising alternative by preserving ankle motion and potentially mitigating osteoarthritis in adjacent joints.(3) This case report details a 57-year-old female with right ankle osteoarthritis due to RA, diagnosed eight years prior via rheumatoid factor positivity, successfully managed with a combined approach of TAA, subtalar fusion, and a modified Brostrom-Gould (BG) repair to enhance function and alleviate pain.
