Abstract
In this article the causes of arthritis in the region of the ankle are introduced and the conservative treatment options are described and discussed more extensively. The risks of treatment with nonopioid analgesics (NOPA) are presented in detail. The topical use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) should always be considered in the clinical routine. If contraindications for oral NSAIDs are present, intra-articular treatment is ameaningful option. The best evidence is currently available for viscosupplementation but the study situation for the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is still not sufficiently comprehensive and there are only a few case reports on the use of mesenchymal stem cells..
