Abstract:
Total ankle arthroplasty is an increasingly popular procedure to address tibiotalar joint arthritis. Implant design and the rationale behind it have changed throughout the years. Newer generation implants allow for minimal resection of bone and use fixed-bearing technology. Long-term follow-up multicenter studies will determine the lifetime of these devices and their effectiveness in addressing pain and improving function for patients with endstage tibiotalar arthritis.
