Preventing Early Arthritis in the Ankle
Mr. Eyre specialises in preventing early arthritis, particularly by offering techniques that repair and regenerate damage to the cartilage and bone in the ankle joint.  These defects in an ankle are typically known as osteochondral defects of the talus. When left untreated, these defects can lead to pain, stiffness, and long-term issues.

To repair these injuries, Mr. Eyre uses cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques. 

By utilising the body’s own healing capacity Mr Eyre combines stem cell therapy and cartilage auto-harvesting, which help regenerate and repair damaged tissue. His team is proud to offer the Arthrex Autocart technique, an advanced approach that accelerates both the repair process and recovery time. This focused and targeted approach offers greater repair and therefore rehabilitation at accelerated speeds

Who Can Benefit?

This treatment is ideal for active individuals, such as athletes or those who are involved in regular physical activity and have developed some form of cartilage damage. Normally this damage occurs through some sort of traumatic injury. It’s also suitable for anyone starting to feel the effects of early arthritis in the ankle, particularly if the damage has been identified before it progresses too far. These new and innovative techniques are helping patients delay further major surgery later and later in life, enhancing rehabilitation and allowing those who lead an active life more time to enjoy doing what they love.
