About this condition
A fracture that involved the joint surface, or that healed out of line, can wear the joint over the following years. Treatment aims to relieve pain and keep you walking, from supports and injections to realignment or fusion where needed.
What you may notice
Joint pain that develops months or years after a fracture, once the joint surface has worn unevenly.
How we help
Assess alignment and joint wear, treat with non-surgical care first, and consider realignment, fusion or replacement when required.
