“…Particularly in Europe, the appearance of new-generation, mobile-bearing, cementless prostheses has renewed interest in TAA [5,11,24,33,48,[51][52][53]. The theoretical advantages of TAA compared with arthrodesis are maintaining joint ROM and restoring more normal kinematics in the hopes of providing the patient with greater comfort and better functional recovery [7,31,33,35,49]. The disadvantages are related to the risk of mechanical complications with failure sometimes requiring implant removal along with subsequent arthrodesis, which can be technically demanding and lead to a less satisfactory result than with primary arthrodesis [10,19,47].…”
