Purpose: To show the results in term of pain and functional recovery in the mid-term follow up of total ankle replacement. Materials and Methods: We followed up 7 patients who had undergone total ankle arthroplasty during the periods between April 1990 and May 1997. They were evaluated after mean follow up of 3.6 years. Results: We reviewed these cases with regand to (in terms of) pain, function and alignment according to the Ankle-Hindfoot Scale designed by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. The average point was 78. Conclusion: Total ankle replacement especially unconstrained type seems good alternative to arthrodesis in selected cases of ankle arthrosis.
