Abstract
Background: Total ankle arthroplasty is increasingly used as a treatment for end stage ankle arthropathy. The aim of this study was to report the mid-term clinical function and survival results of Ceramic Coated Implant (CCI) ankle replacements and assess the association between the alignment of the CCI total ankle replacements and early functional outcome and complication incidence.
Methods: Data of 61 patients, who received 65 CCI implants between 2010 and 2016, were obtained from a prospectively documented database. Mean follow-up time was 85.2 months (range 27-99 months). Clinical function was assessed with AOFAS questionnaire and passive range of motion (ROM). Survival analysis and elaborate radiographic analysis was performed. Furthermore, complications and reoperations were recorded for all patients.
Results: Progression in ROM was most seen in the first 10 months from 21.8 degrees of passive range of motion preoperative to 27.6 degrees postoperative (p < 0.001), while the mean AOFAS gradually increased during follow-up postoperative from a mean of 40.9 points preoperative to an average of 82.5 but shows a small decline towards the end of follow-up (p < 0.001). During follow-up we recorded 8 failures (12.3%) resulting in a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of 87.7% with a median follow-up of 85.2 months.
Conclusion: We observed excellent clinical results and survival after TAA with the CCI implant with only a low mid-term complication rate.
Level of evidence: Level III, prospective cohort study.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, the official journal of the Australian Podiatry Association and The College of Podiatry (UK), is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of policy, organisation, delivery and clinical practice related to the assessment, diagnosis, prevention and management of foot and ankle disorders.
Journal of Foot and Ankle Research covers a wide range of clinical subject areas, including diabetology, paediatrics, sports medicine, gerontology and geriatrics, foot surgery, physical therapy, dermatology, wound management, radiology, biomechanics and bioengineering, orthotics and prosthetics, as well the broad areas of epidemiology, policy, organisation and delivery of services related to foot and ankle care.
The journal encourages submissions from all health professionals who manage lower limb conditions, including podiatrists, nurses, physical therapists and physiotherapists, orthopaedists, manual therapists, medical specialists and general medical practitioners, as well as health service researchers concerned with foot and ankle care.
The Australian Podiatry Association and the College of Podiatry (UK) have reserve funds to cover the article-processing charge for manuscripts submitted by its members. Society members can email the appropriate contact at Australian Podiatry Association or The College of Podiatry to obtain the corresponding code to enter on submission.
