【 摘 要 】

Category:AnkleIntroduction/Purpose:Intra and post-operative fractures are recognised complications of total ankle replacement (TAR) surgery.Intra-operative fractures are captured on the National Joint Registry (NJR) in the UK. The NJR has been capturing data on ankle replacement surgery since April 2010 and the number of TARs on the register is approaching 4000.Post-operative fractures are captured in the Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) database. HES stores all patients admitted to NHS hospitals in England and captures 125 million records each year. Diagnostic information is stored using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and operative details using the Office of Population, Censuses and Surveys Classification (OPCS) codes.The purpose of this work was to determine the rate of intra and post-operative fracture with primary TAR and determine risk factors.Methods:A data-linkage study of the UK National Joint Registry (NJR) data and Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES) database was peformed u...
