Outcomes of Revision Total Ankle Replacement

The objective of this study is to provide an up-to-date review of the outcomes of revision total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Relevant studies published over the last decade were reviewed. Twelve studies were included. At a median follow-up of 4 years, the median survival and reoperation rates were 86% and 16%, respectively. Significant postoperative improvements in patient-reported outcome measures were recorded in 6 studies. Significant improvement in alignment was documented in 1 study only. Revision TAA is a safe procedure that can produce good outcomes. Nevertheless, data relating to long-term outcome are still limited in quantity and duration.
