Total joint arthroplasty. The ankle.

R N Stauffer

    Mayo Clinic Proceedings
    |September 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Total ankle replacement offers a surgical alternative when conservative treatments fail for ankle joint disease. This prosthetic joint shows good results in rheumatoid arthritis and older patients but requires further development for younger, active individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Ankle arthrodesis is the traditional surgical treatment for severe ankle joint disease.
    • Ankle arthrodesis has limitations, including suboptimal outcomes and long-term complications.
    • Mechanical characterization of the ankle is crucial for developing advanced treatment options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate the Mayo total ankle replacement prosthesis.
    • To assess the clinical efficacy of a novel prosthetic ankle joint.
    • To identify patient populations that benefit most from ankle joint replacement.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a metal-on-polyethylene, congruent, constrained prosthetic ankle joint.
    • Clinical analysis of 94 patients who received 102 total ankle prostheses.

  • Evaluation of outcomes based on patient diagnosis (rheumatoid arthritis, posttraumatic degenerative disease) and activity level.

    • Main Results:

    • Good clinical results were observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Older patients with posttraumatic degenerative disease also showed positive outcomes.
    • Younger, more active patients with posttraumatic degenerative disease experienced less favorable results.

    Conclusions:

    • Total ankle replacement is a viable surgical option for specific patient groups.
    • Further design improvements are needed to enhance range of motion and bone fixation.
    • Ongoing research aims to optimize the prosthesis for a broader patient demographic, including younger, active individuals.
