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.
