Osteoarthritis at the ankles is one of the five leading causes of disability among the elderly. It mainly affects most people over 45 years of age, however it can occur at any age. Current treatments include regular exercise and pain relievers such as NSAIDS and COX-2 inhibitor pills to help ease pain and stiffness. In more severe cases, cortisone shots can help decrease inflammation in the joint and extreme cases consist of joint replacement.
