“…Patients with ankle arthritis and deformity who experience severe pain and functional disability, and do not respond to nonoperative treatment modalities, are candidates for TAR [53]. Currently, there is no consensus regarding which treatment, arthrodesis or replacement, is better for end-stage ankle arthritis.…”

Total ankle replacement (TAR) was introduced for end-stage arthritis of the ankle joint in the 1970s. TAR is becoming the modality of choice and offers better mobility, improved gait, and reduces the development of subsequent subtalar joint arthritis when compared with ankle arthrodesis. To maintain the longest function of ankle replacements, the design of the prosthesis should allow for smooth and continuous interaction and normal gait. Improved operative techniques, the surgeon's experience, as well as appropriate patient selection can anticipate better outcomes. Deformities of the ankle and foot should be corrected before TAR is performed. Despite the functional limitations following the revision of TAR, the revision still offers a cost-effective alternative to ankle arthrodesis. The decision to treat with TAR depends on the surgeon's technique, as well as on the patient's condition.

“…There is no standard scoring system for assessing the functional outcome of ankle fusion (Abidi et al 2000), although the Mazur ankle grading system (Mazur et al 1979) has been frequently used. Several recent studies have applied the AOFAS Ankle and Hindfoot Rating scale to evaluate the clinical results (Kitaoka 1994, Mann et al 1998, Monroe et al 1999.…”

“…Ankle arthrodesis or fusion is usually indicated for active individuals suffering from a painful and stiff ankle that is functionally disabling. 2 Fusion can be performed using an open surgical incision with a variety of hardware, including an external fixator, screws, and/or plates. It can be done using malleolar preserving, mini-open, and/or arthroscopic techniques.…”

T he purpose of this manuscript is to provide current information regarding the examination, conservative treatment, and surgical treatment for individuals with posttraumatic arthritis. The 3 major categories of arthritis are inflammatory, osteoarthritis, and posttraumatic arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis; however, it does not always affect the ankle.35 It has been reported that 10% to 50% of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis have ankle involvement. 8,16,48,60,83 The mechanical properties of the tibiotalar articular cartilage make it durable and efficient at equalizing stress. These properties may reduce the risk of osteoarthritis at the ankle. 7,37,75,77,80,86 Posttraumatic arthritis is more common than osteoarthritis at the ankle. Saltzman et al 71 reported that osteoarthritis and posttraumatic arthritis accounted for 12% and 70% of ankle arthritis cases, respectively.
