【 摘 要 】

Category:Ankle ArthritisIntroduction/Purpose:Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis (AAA) has been shown to result in reduced postoperative stay and better short-term outcome than open ankle arthrodesis. Coronal ankle joint deformity often is considered a contraindication for AAA.The aim of this study was to examine whether a preoperative coronal deformity influenced the midterm outcome after AAA for end-stage ankle arthritis.Methods:The Canadian Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (COFAS) database prospectively collects data about the outcome of patients after surgical treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis.The database yielded 98 patients who had isolated ankle arthrodesis at the University of British Columbia between 2005 and 2013.The cohort consisted of 66 men and 32 women who had 62 arthroscopic and 38 open arthrodesis.The preoperative coronal deformity was measured using the tibiotalar angle (between a line perpendicular to the anatomical axis of the tibia and the proximal talar surface) and the tibial plafo...
