Background

The importance of total ankle replacement (TAR) implant orientation in the axial plane is poorly understood with major variation in surgical technique of implants on the market. Our aims were to better understand the axial rotational profile of patients undergoing TAR.

Methods

In 157 standardised CT Scans of end-stage ankle arthritis patients planning to undergo primary TAR surgery, we measured the relationship between the knee posterior condylar axis, the tibial tuberosity, the transmalleolar axis(TMA) and the tibiotalar angle. The foot position was measured in relation to the TMA with the foot plantigrade. The variation between medial gutter line and the line bisecting both gutters was assessed.
