Traditional treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis has been ankle arthrodesis, however ankle arthroplasty is becoming an accepted alternative. The Zenith Ankle (Corin, UK) is 3rd generation implant with a mobile bearing design. In the NJR 2016 report, the Zenith was the commonest ankle prosthesis implanted in the UK. However, compared to other ankle implants, there's little published data on its performance and survival. The aim of this study was to analyse outcome in a consecutive series from a non-designer centre. We conducted a retrospective review of a consecutive series of 118 Zenith Ankle replacements implanted in our Unit (December 2010 to May 2016). Data was collected from our National Joint Registry entries, research databases, patient notes, PACS and PROMS.Introduction
