Has anyone had "Ankle Distraction" surgery where more space is created between the joint? I want to know if the Mayo Clinic does it, but don't know where or how to ask. Thank you. Julie
I typed that in, but did not find the information. I saw sources footnoted on what I am guessing is a total ankle joint replacement, but no information besides that. Thank you, I will do some research and maybe call the clinic itself? Julie
Sorry I did not actually try to search before I replied to you.There is a Foot and Ankle Clinic at Mayo-Rochester….perhaps they can give you some answers.

If you go to MayoClinic.org and search on the phase "ankle distraction" you should be able to learn whether they do the surgery.
Good Luck!
