Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic multi-system, polyarticular disease that eventually involes the ankle in 15–50% of patients. The severity of the disability in this group is perhaps most easily assessed by the number of other major joints that needed to be replaced for these patients prior to the ankle-joint replacement.
