Long term studies have shown a compensatory development of ipsilateral adjacent joint arthritis after ankle arthrodesis, and some patients who receive an ankle arthrodesis develop pain in surrounding joints, or even at the fusion site. As total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) design, instrumentation, and techniques have improved, the use of total ankle arthroplasty has become more widespread. Very few studies have been published on conversion of ankle arthrodesis to ankle arthroplasty, but they have shown improved function and patient-related outcome scores. The purpose of this study was to assess the radiographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes of patients undergoing ankle arthroplasty after conversion from a CT-confirmed ankle arthrodesis.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with previous CT-confirmed ankle arthrodesis who underwent con...
