The article presents 3 cases of successful treatment of ankle arthrosis at the Multi-Specialty Center for Pain Treatment and Rehabilitation «Anesta» (Arkhangelsk), presenting the author’s method of joint denervation and its detailed description.</p> <p><bold><italic>CLINICAL CASES DESCRIPTION:</italic></bold> Three patients were presented. The first with arthrosis of the knee and ankle joint, the second patient — after an accident with purulent-septic complications and violation of the anatomical integrity of the ankle joint, the third — with extensive concomitant pathology and severe arthrosis. All patients were satisfied with the procedure and its impact on the quality of life in the postoperative period. An anatomical rationale and a detailed description of the relevance of the ankle joint cryoanalgesia method are provided. Cryoanalgesia of the ankle joint was tested on cadaver by introducing liquid silicone into the places where the cryoprobe was installed, which confirmed the interest of the sensory branches going to the joint capsule. Due to the fact that the method is proprietary, and the use of cryoanalgesia is limited on the territory of the Russian Federation, there is very little literature data regarding the procedure for performing cryoanalgesia of the ankle joint, however, as experience is gained, we assume that this procedure will become a good alternative to surgery for arthrosis ankle joint.</p> <p><bold><italic>CONCLUSION: </italic></bold>The presence of pain has an extremely negative impact on the general condition of patients. The presented author’s technique can significantly improve the quality of life of many patients, minimizing pain in both large and small joints.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> В данный момент с появлением криоаблятора много внимания уделяется криоаналгезии крупных суставов, однако и патология более мелких структур может приносить дискомфорт и снижать качество жизни пациента. В статье представлено 3 случая успешного лечения артроза голеностопного сустава в МПЦ лечения боли и реабилитации «Анеста» (Архангельск) с представлением авторской методики денервации сустава и подробным её описанием.</p> <p><bold>Описание клинических случаев.</bold> Представленs 3 пациента: первый — с артрозом коленного и голеностопного сустава, второй — после дорожно-транспортного происшествия с гнойно-септическими осложнениями и нарушением анатомической целостности голеностопного сустава, третий — с обширной сопутствующей патологией и тяжёлым артрозом. Все пациенты остались удовлетворены проведённой процедурой и её влиянием на качество жизни в послеоперационном периоде. Приведено анатомическое обоснование и подробное описание актуальности метода криоаналгезии голеностопного сустава. Криоаналгезия голеностопного сустава была протестирована на кадавере путём введения жидкого силикона в места установки криозонда, чем мы подтвердили заинтересованность чувствительных ветвей, идущих к капсуле сустава. Ввиду того, что метод является авторским, и применение криоаналгезии ограничено на территории Российской Федерации, имеется очень мало данных литературы касательно самой процедуры выполнения криоаналгезии голеностопного сустава, однако по мере накопления опыта, как мы предполагаем, она станет хорошей альтернативой оперативному пособию по поводу артроза голеностопного сустава.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Наличие болевого синдрома крайне негативно влияет на общее состояние пациентов. Представленная авторская методика может значительно улучшить качество жизни многих больных, минимизировав болевые ощущения как в крупных, так и в мелких суставах.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>cryoanalgesia</kwd><kwd>ankle joint</kwd><kwd>pain management</kwd><kwd>arthrosis</kwd><kwd>clinical case</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>криоаналгезия</kwd><kwd>голеностопный сустав</kwd><kwd>лечение боли</kwd><kwd>артроз</kwd><kwd>клинический случай</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Cervini C.
