Abstract:
Total ankle arthroplasty is an evolving method of treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. Although historic interest did not yield favorable results, new generation total ankle implants have demonstrated comparable results with fusion with short- and intermediate-term follow-up. Comparable outcomes, in the setting of improving surgical technique and implant options, will yield increasingly superior results.
