The use of autograft bone is the best option
when undertaking a procedure that requires bone graft because it
is osteogenic, osteoconductive and osseo-inductive. Pain, morbidity
and complications associated with harvesting iliac or non-iliac
sites occur in between 6% and 30% of cases. An alternative source
of graft with possibly a lower morbidity is the intramedullary canal.
In this study, 28 patients undergoing 30 arthrodesis procedures
on the hindfoot had a mean of 48 cm. 3 . (43 to 50) of bone
harvested locally from the hindfoot or the tibial shaft by antegrade or
retrograde reaming. No patient sustained a fracture of the calcaneum,
talus or tibia. There was no morbidity except for one complication
when the reamer breached the medial tibial cortex. This healed uneventfully. . This method of using the reamer–irrigator–aspirator system is
an extension of the standard technique of intramedullary reaming
of the lower limb: it produces good-quality bone graft with viable
growth factors consistent with that of the iliac crest, and donor
site morbidity is low. This is an efficient method of obtaining
autologous bone for use in arthrodesis of the

Aims. The aim of this study was to capture 12-month outcomes from a representative multicentre cohort of patients undergoing total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), describe the pattern of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at 12 months, and identify predictors of these outcome measures. Methods. Patients listed for a primary TAA at 19 NHS hospitals between February 2016 and October 2017 were eligible. PROMs data were collected preoperatively and at six and 12 months including: Manchester-Oxford Foot and

Aims. Implant failure has become more common as the number of primary total ankle arthroplasties (TAAs) performed has increased. Although revision arthroplasty has gained attention for functional preservation, the long-term results remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of revision TAA using a mobile-bearing prosthesis in a considerably large cohort; the risk factors for failure were also determined. Methods. This single-centre retrospective cohort study included 116 patients (117 ankles) who underwent revision TAA for failed primary TAA between July 2000 and March 2010. Survival analysis and risk factor assessment were performed, and clinical performance and patient satisfaction were evaluated preoperatively and at last follow-up. Results. The mean duration from initial revision TAA to last follow-up was 15.0 years (SD 3.0; 11.2 to 20.5). The cumulative survival rates of the revised
