【 摘 要 】

Category:Ankle ArthritisIntroduction/Purpose:The utilization of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has increased significantly over the past decade. While projections for hip and knee arthroplasty show an exponential increase in demand, there remains a paucity of literature on the projected demand for TAA. Outcomes for TAA show promising results at 10 year follow up and, as a result, the demand for TAA will likely see a significant increase over the next few decades. The purpose of this study is to assess the current trends and future demand of TAA utilization.Methods:National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data from 1997-2014 was used to identify trends in the utilization of TAA. United States Census Bureau data from 1997-2014 was used to identify historical population data and future population estimates. A linear regression model was created using Mathematica v11.3 to project future demand for total ankle arthroplasty. The data was stratified to show past and future trends based on gender and age.Results:The overa...
