Background

Total ankle replacement (TAR) design has evolved greatly in recent years and offers a reasonable alternative to ankle arthrodesis in a select patient population with end-stage arthritis. Originator series’ report good longevity and excellent patient reported outcomes (PROMs). We report our outcomes in an independent, non-inventor cohort.

Method

We collected prospective data on consecutive patients undergoing total ankle replacement between April 2008 and March 2012, under the care of one Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon. The primary outcome measure was time to revision. Secondary outcomes measures included American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, Visual Analogue Score (VAS) for pain, and complications.

Introduction

Total ankle replacement (TAR) surgery remains a reasonable alternative to arthrodesis in a select group of patients with end stage ankle joint arthritis. We describe the early results of a prospective study of the first 50 Zenith total ankle replacements performed by a single surgeon (SKG).

Methods

Demographic details, Visual Analogue Score (VAS) for pain (0, no pain; 10, worst possible pain), AOFAS scores, ‘would have surgery again’ and satisfaction levels were collated, pre-operatively and at their most recent outpatient review. Any post-operative complications were noted. Radiographs were also assessed for evidence of loosening, progressive osteolysis, subsidence and overall alignment of the implant.
