Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) is an established treatment option for end-stage ankle arthritis. We analysed at minimum, 10-year patient-reported and clinical outcomes of 156 TARs from a single centre. We specifically compared outcomes between patients under 60 and over 60 at time of surgery. Data was collected retrospectively from our departmental patient database. It included all patients who underwent a TAR by a single surgeon between 2006 and 2010 and patients were divided into those under 60 and those over 60 at the time of surgery. Patient reported outcomes (PROMs), including WOMAC, SF-36 and patient satisfaction scores and complications were analysed preoperatively and at one, two, five and over 10 years postoperatively.Background
Methods
Total ankle replacement as a valid treatment for end stage ankle arthritis, is gaining popularity and every year there is an increasing number of procedures. With revision rates as high as 21% at 5 years and 43% at 10 years there is a need for understanding and reporting the outcome of revision ankle replacement. Our aim was to study the patient reported outcomes following revision TAR with a minimum of 2 year follow up. All patients that underwent a revision total ankle replacement between 2012 and 2016 were included in the study. All patients received a post-operative questionnaire comprising of MOX-FQ score, EQ-5D (UK) and Foot and Ankle outcomes scores (FAOS) and patients satisfaction questionnaire with a minimum of 2 years follow up.Introduction
