Abstract

Total ankle replacement surgery is gaining popularity and is beginning to establish itself as a viable alternative to arthrodesis in the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Only a few studies exist directly comparing these 2 techniques. Also lacking are the long-term outcome studies of ankle replacement surgery. A better understanding of clinical and patient-reported outcome measures after ankle fusion and replacement will enable the surgeon to better counsel the patient and help choose the right treatment. This article will summarise the reported clinical outcomes after total ankle replacements and survivorship analysis from the various national arthroplasty registers.

Keywords: Ankle arthritis; Ankle fusion; Clinical outcome; Total ankle replacement.
