Abstract
Ankle arthrodesis has for decades been the ‘gold standard’ treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) surgery, first introduced in the early 1970's, was initially plagued with poor outcomes and high complications, leading understandably to limited uptake. Since then, their design has evolved tremendously, and with it, there has been renewed interest in its role in the surgical management of end-stage ankle arthritis. In this article we discuss the current clinical evidence for TAA, its indications and contra-indications for use, its outcomes and results, the role of concomitant surgical procedures, complications and comment on areas of further study required.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery (JAJS) is committed to bring forth scientific manuscripts in the form of original research articles, current concept reviews, meta-analyses, case reports and letters to the editor. The focus of the Journal is to present wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary perspectives on the problems of the joints that are amenable with Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty. Though Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty entail surgical procedures, the Journal shall not restrict itself to these purely surgical procedures and will also encompass pharmacological, rehabilitative and physical measures that can prevent or postpone the execution of a surgical procedure. The Journal will also publish scientific research related to tissues other than joints that would ultimately have an effect on the joint function.
