Category:Ankle, Ankle ArthritisIntroduction/Purpose:Ankle arthritis is a debilitating disorder which significantly limits activities of daily living and can lead to reduced quality of life. Total ankle arthroplasty(TAA) and ankle arthrodesis are common treatments for ankle arthritis; however, patient indications may differ based on individual patient needs. Few studies compare proportional hazard modeling, survivorship and patient-centered outcomes following these two procedures, which may be useful in determining the appropriate procedure for end-stage ankle arthritis in different patient populations. The purpose of this study was to determine proportional hazards for the risk of failure in patients who underwent TAA vs. arthrodesis, as well as survivorship and outcomes.Methods:All patients >18 years, between January 2009 and November 2013, who underwent TAA or ankle arthrodesis by a single surgeon for treatment of ankle arthritis were included. Patients completed a subjective questionnaire at minimum 2-...
