What kind of motion will you still have after ankle replacement?

Better: The motion is somewhere between where your bad ankle is and where your good ankle is.

Many factors: Most patients at least maintain their pre-replacement range of motion and sometimes gain additional motion after ankle replacement.

Less than normal: After and ankle replacement, you will have less than normal motion. However, it is significantly better than having a fusion.
