【 摘 要 】

Category:AnkleIntroduction/Purpose:Numerous studies have attempted to study outcomes after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). The majority of these studies are clinical in nature. There have been some reports that rheumatoid patients have better outcomes after TAA although there are papers that are contradictory. Objective outcome studies of gait after TAA usually measure outcome against a control group or ankle arthrodesis. No studies have attempted to measure objective outcomes of TAA based upon the preoperative diagnosis. Without objectively studying outcomes for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis, it is unclear whether a difference exists in outcomes after TAA. This study aims to answer the question: Is preoperative diagnosis predictive of outcome after total ankle arthroplasty?Methods:A retrospective review of 75 patients who underwent isolated TAA with a minimum one-year follow-up, including patient demographics, pre-operative diagnosis, and pre and postope...
