Category:Ankle ArthritisIntroduction/Purpose:Accepted surgical treatment options for end-stage ankle arthritis include total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and ankle arthrodesis (AA). Although they have comparable clinical outcomes, TAA is growing in popularity and one reason for this is that TAA, compared to AA, better preserves range of motion and function at the ankle, and results in a gait pattern that more closely replicates normal controls. This has the theoretical benefit of protecting adjacent articulations and thereby limiting degenerative changes from occurring in other joints. Although multiple studies have analysed the impact of both TAA and AA on adjacent joint disease in the foot, little data exists on their impact on the knee. This study explored the relationships between knee pain, TAA and AA in patients with end-stage ankle arthritis.Methods:Prospectively collected data was used from the Canadian Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (COFAS) database of ankle arthritis at a single institution by t...
