Background

Total ankle arthroplasty (total ankle arthroplasty) is increasingly performed worldwide for the treatment of end-stage tibiotalar osteoarthritis.

Methods

This was a multisurgeon, single-center, retrospective study of 164 consecutive ankles (155 patients) that underwent surgery between 2009 and 2013.

n = 155 patients
Results

ankles needing no further surgery in the 10 years after replacement; higher is better

Survival 94.10 (95% CI 90.50 to 97.90)
null 0
90.50
97.90
CI excludes the null - significant
More results

Implant survival with the end point of revision of at least 1 metallic component was 96.2% (95% CI: 93.4% to 99.2%) at 10 years.

Implant survival with the end point of removal and conversion to arthrodesis was 99% (95% CI: 98% to 100%) at 10 years.

More results

At the latest follow-up, the mean dorsiflexion (and standard deviation) was 12° ± 5°, the mean plantar flexion was 23° ± 7°, and the median AOFAS score was 98.

Patients considered 62 (43%) of the ankles "forgotten" joints.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 3

The SALTO TALARIS total ankle arthroplasty is a reliable implant with a low reoperation rate and excellent long-term survival.

Conclusion · 2 of 3

These findings provide long-term reference survival data for a third-generation fixed-bearing total ankle arthroplasty system. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic Level III.

Conclusion · 3 of 3

See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
