  • Total ankle arthroplasty has become a viable motion-preserving alternative to ankle arthrodesis, especially in the last two decades. Recent improvements have been achieved in the strength of implant design and surgical technique. Nevertheless, addressing preoperative deformities is essential for successful outcomes of total ankle arthroplasty. Residual malalignment can produce instability and edge loading, causing acceleration of polyethylene wear, followed by osteolysis and an increased risk of revision surgery. Therefore, the accompanying deformities and their correction techniques need to be comprehensively elucidated and understood. In this article, we provide a review of the application of total ankle arthroplasty in arthritis with coronal plane varus and valgus deformities.

  • Purpose: End-stage ankle arthritis is frequently combined with ankle-hindfoot deformity or ankle instability and therefore additional surgical procedures are often required when performing total ankle arthroplasty. We report the short term clinical and radiographic results of the total ankle arthroplasty with/without the combined adjunctive surgical procedures. Materials and Methods: The study is based on the 17 ankles (16 patients) of end-stage ankle arthritis that were treated with $HINTEGRA^{(R)}$ Total ankle prosthesis (Newdeal, Lyons, France) total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) from 2004 to 2007 with at least 12 months follow-up. The combined adjunctive procedures as well as the VAS pain score, AOFAS score, radiographic measurements and patient satisfactions were evaluated. Results: Average follow-up period was 29 months (13${\sim}$55 months), and the age was average 62 years (39${\sim}$75 years) old. Among total of 17 ankles, varus deformity and lateral ankle instability were found in 4 cases and 3 cases respectively. Twenty additional procedures such as Achilles triple hemisection (9), calcaneal displacement osteotomy (4) and lateral ankle ligament reconstruction (3) were performed in adjunct to TAA in 13 ankles. VAS pain score improved from preoperative average 8.4 (7${\sim}$10) to 2.0 (0${\sim}$5) and the AOFAS functional score improved from 41.8 points (13${\sim}$71 points) to 90.6 (77${\sim}$100 points) at final follow-up. Ninety-four percent of the patients were satisfied with the surgery. Conclusion: We confirmed that many adjunctive combined surgical procedures are often necessary in addressing the end-stage ankle arthritis (74%) with total ankle arthroplasty. We also achieved quite good clinical and radiographic short term results, although the long term follow-up study with larger number of cases are needed in the future.

  • The proportion of patients with end-stage ankle arthritis is increasing. The leading surgical methods for treating patients with end-stage ankle arthritis are ankle arthrodesis and total ankle arthroplasty. Ankle arthrodesis is considered the standard treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. Many studies have been conducted on the two procedures, but it is unclear which is superior, and total ankle arthroplasty cannot be said to be a clear indication. Therefore, this review compares the advantages and disadvantages of two representative surgical methods for treating end-stage ankle arthritis.

  • Purpose: We evaluated the complications and failures after total ankle arthroplasty during at least 2 years short term follow up. Materials and Methods: There were 45 cases of 42 patients of HINTEGRA$^{{R}}$ (Newdeal SA, Lyon, France) model from November 2004 to August 2006. Follow up averaged at least 2 year. We evaluated the complications and analyzed the cause of the failures. Results: There were totally 15 cases of complication, 5 cases of medial impingement syndrome, 3 cases of varus malposition, 2 cases of delayed healing of wounds, and each one case of deep peroneal nerve problem, medial malleolus fracture, post-operative deep infection, gouty arthritis pain, and Achilles tendinitis. Conclusion: Total ankle arthroplasty had higher complication rate than any other joint arthroplasty, so we need a more meticulous preoperative and peri-operative care.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and functional results of ankle arthroplasty and to analyze the complications in total ankle arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: Between October 1988 and October 1991, the total ankle arthroplasty had been performed in eight ankle joints of seven patients.. There were five patients with rheumatoid arthritis, one with osteoarthritis and one with traumatic arthritis. One patient had bilateral replacement. New Jersey type of prosthesis was used in six patients and one patient was performed with Odland type of prosthesis. The average age at surgery was 42.3 years (range, 33-54 years). The average follow-up period was 8.2 years (range, 6-10.5 years). Clinical evaluation was assessed according to the Ankle-Hind Foot Scale of American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society. Results: The average score was 81.4 (range, 76 - 90) at the most recent follow-up. All patients were satisfied with their clinical results. Relief of pain was excellent in most patients, but postoperatively there was no significant improvement in range of motion. One patient had arthrodesis at three year six months after total ankle arthroplasty due to deep infection. Conclusion: This study shows total ankle arthroplasty is a good alternative treatment in selected cases of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Ankle osteoarthritis is a debilitating condition that causes severe pain associated with functional impairment and decreased activity. Ankle osteoarthritis, unlike that of the knee or hip joint, is rare in primary arthritis. Most cases are traumatic arthritis that occur after ankle sprain or fractures or chronic ankle instability. Although ankle fusion has been regarded as the standard treatment of ankle osteoarthritis in the past, total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is increasing due to the development of the implant design and surgical techniques. TAA is biomechanically superior to ankle fusion by preserving the movement of the ankle joint. In particular, it is functionally superior to ankle fusion because it enables normal joint motion during gait. In addition, there is an advantage of preserving the movement of the hindfoot and reducing the abnormal stress applied to the adjacent joints after ankle fusion to prevent the occurrence of long-term adjacent joint arthritis. Although the short-term and mid-term results of TAA have been reported to be excellent, long-term follow-up has a relatively low survival rate and high complication rate compared to total knee or hip arthroplasty. Therefore, continuous and further research is needed.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the incidence and describe radiologic pattern of ankle arthritis following change of mechanical loading axis by total knee arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: We reviewed radiographs of 419 cases, 243 patients underwent total knee arthroplasy from January 2002 to October 2006 retrospectively. We described radiologic parameters around the ankle joint and measured the amount of change of knee varus or valgus angle by comparing preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior standing lower extremities AP X-rays. We divided cases into two groups, one with radiologically arthritic change of the ankle joint and the other one without any radiologic change after surgery. We compared two groups in each parameters and analyzed statistically (SPSS v13.0). Results: Three hundred eighty one cases were divided into varus group and 38 cases in valgus group. 125 cases were divided into ankle arthritic change-positive subgroup among the varus group and 251 cases were in negative subgroup. The amount of varus angle correction by total knee arthroplasty showed significant difference between two subgroups. There was no significant difference in each parameters between subgroups within 38 valgus cases. Conclusion: Ankle arthritis can be aggravated after total knee arthroplasty because of the change of mechanical loading axis onto the ankle joint. Therefore it may be needed to evaluate symptoms and function of ankle joints before performing total knee arthroplasties especially in patients with huge varus deformities of knee joints.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes of total ankle arthroplasty for the post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: Fourteen patients who had undergone total ankle arthroplasty from February 2005 to June 2006 were reviewed. Eleven patients were male and three patients were female. The mean age was 52.8 years (range, 33 to 69 years). The mean follow-up duration was 15.9 months (range, 12 to 24 months). Primary injuries were pilon fractures in eight cases, malleolar fractures in three, ankle syndesmotic injury in one, talus fracture and dislocation in one, and distal tibial physeal injury in one. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Range of motion (ROM), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and complications were evaluated. Results: The mean VAS improved from 8.6 preoperatively to 2.6 at last follow-up. The mean ROM improved from 24.6 degrees preoperatively to 33.1 degrees postoperatively. The mean AOFAS score improved from 44.5 points preoperatively to 75.1 points postoperatively. Radiographically, all components were stable, but there were component malpositions in two cases, including one varus malposition of tibial component and one increased anterior translation of talar component. Complications were deep infection in one case, intraoperative malleolar fracture in three, marginal wound necrosis in two, and heterotopic ossification in one. One prosthesis was revised because of deep infection. Conclusion: Total ankle arthroplasty for the post-traumatic osteoarthritis is believed to be an useful method for preservation of the motion, relief of the pain and high satisfaction of patients in short-term results.

  • End-stage ankle arthritis is a debilitating condition that causes functional limitations and consequently a poor quality of life. Total ankle replacement arthroplasty is a good alternative to arthrodesis for preserving the ankle's range of motion. However, many complications can occur in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and with poor soft tissue and bone conditions. A 61-year-old female experienced spacer subluxation after surgery, which was not reduced by medial soft tissue release and spacer change. Buttress plating was found to be a good treatment option to prevent spacer subluxation and can be considered in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with bone erosion and soft tissue damage.
