Periprosthetic cyst formation following ankle replacement, requiring revision surgery, has previously been reported. The exact pathogenesis of cyst formation is unclear but considered to be due to a combination of biological and mechanical factors. Our objective was to review the incidence of periprosthetic cyst formation following Mobility ankle replacement and their outcome. We reviewed all the Mobility ankle replacements performed by the senior author from Oct 2005 till May 2012. Serial radiographs were reviewed to identify the presence of cystic lesions in the tibia or the talus.Introduction

With increasing numbers of primary total ankle replacements being performed, the number of revision ankle surgeries is expected to rise also. We present the results of the revision procedures for failed Scandinavian total ankle replacements. We retrospectively reviewed all the Scandinavian TAR done by the senior author from March 1999 till Jan 2006. Patients who underwent revision surgery were identified and their data was collected including indications for revision surgery, procedure performed, symptoms and the overall outcome.Introduction
