Category:AnkleIntroduction/Purpose:Ankle fusion and total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) are common surgical procedures used to treat ankle morbidity. Little is known about the comparative rates of in-hospital complications between patients treated with ankle fusion and TAA.Methods:Data from the 2002-2013 Nationwide Inpatient Sample releases were analyzed. 4,451 TAA patients and 16,277 ankle fusion patients were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) 81.11 and 81.56 procedure codes, respectively. ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes were utilized to classify major or minor in-hospital complications. Fusion and TAA patients were exact matched on age, gender, race, hospital type, geographical region, comorbidities, and diabetes status. Minor and major in-hospital complications, including mortality were compared using chi-square and multivariate logistic regression.Results:Exact matches were identified for 4,174 (93.8%) TAA patients, with a mean age of 62.2 ye...
