【 摘 要 】

Category:Ankle ArthritisIntroduction/Purpose:While studies have demonstrated a predictable incremental increase in the range of motion (ROM) following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) it remains unclear what variables affect the post-operative ROM. This study was undertaken to further investigate this question with the goal of providing guidance for patients and surgeons deciding between TAA and arthrodesis.Methods:This is a prospective review of 223 consecutive patients who underwent primary TAA using a single prosthesis performed between 2010-2013 for painful ankle arthritis that failed conservative therapy. Weight bearing flexion and extension X- rays were obtained preoperatively and again at 1 year following surgery. The patients were compared for demographics, type of arthritis, preoperative malalignment, prior trauma, obesity, medical co-morbidities, and the effect of concurrent surgery on post operative ankle ROM.Results:191 patients had adequate follow-up and met all the inclusion criteria. The preo...
