Long term consequences of Total Ankle Replacement versus Ankle Fusion; a 25 year national population study of 41,000 patients
Definitive and successful treatment of end stage ankle arthritis is either Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) or Ankle Fusion (AF). Both options place patients on an irreversible pathway that risks harm from further surgery. AF may predispose patients to subsequent hindfoot joint fusion and TAR is associated with high rates of complex revision surgery. The aim is to improve decision making by investigating the risks of further surgery, adjacent joint surgery and rare but serious complications of AF versus TAR.
