Abstract
We present the case of a 62 years old man who suffered from
a fracture of the astragals ten years ago. Since then he complained
of pain while walking and at night. He used to be a taxi driver. The
pain has led him to search for any other options since rehabilitation
and NSAIDs did not improve his symptoms. He went under a total
ankle arthroplasty replacement (Figure 1). After surgery, he was
provided a foot ankle orthosis and remained not weight bearing
for 6 weeks. After that time, he was let to initiate active exercises
of the ankle, progressive weight bearing load and walking with
canes. Electromagnetic pulsed fields were provided because of pain
and edema.
