In this video I explain ankle arthritis — and why it is not only a problem of older age. Unlike the hip or knee, arthritis of the ankle is most often post-traumatic, developing years after an old fracture or repeated sprains, so it frequently affects younger, active people. I contrast this post-traumatic pattern with ordinary degenerative arthritis, and explain why ankle pain that lingers after an injury should not be ignored. The talk is in Korean.
