Hello,
I think you have got ankle posttraumatic arthritis. You should get ankle x-rays in 2 or 3 positions and confirm this diagnosis. The treatment is different depending on the stage of arthritis. In early stages the treatment is non-operative with medication, braces, and physical therapy. In advanced stages treatment is with surgery, ankle replacement, or fusion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
