Patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis suffer from reduced mobility and quality of life and the main surgical treatments are total ankle replacement (TAR) and ankle fusion (AF).Our aim was to calculate the mean incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) of TAR compared with ...
Primary total ankle replacement surgery is a cost-effective intervention. The primary aim was to assess the cost-effectiveness of primary total ankle replacements (PTAR) in the UK. Secondary aim was to identify predictors associa... Z Place,D Macdonald,N Clement,... - 《Foot》 被引量: 0...

Patients often ask why, if they were able to walk on the day of their knee or hip replacement, cannot they walk on their ankle replacement for weeks after surgery. After all, the implants do not rely on bony ingrowth prior to being mechanically stable and are made ...
For many years, the preferred position of the knee implant has been mechanical, correcting every leg to a hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) of 180 degrees [12]. More recently, interindividual variation in native knee and limb alignments are considered for postoperative target al.ignment and native (...

Few patients require use of a plastic or double metal upright ankle-foot orthosis. Patellar complications include subluxation and dislocation. These are often due to excessive tracking of the patella, which is difficult to correct with conservative treatment after the initial surgery. These ...
The main objective of this study is to compare proportionally the incidence of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) versus ankle arthrodesis and to determine the variables that may have influenced its indication. The secondary objective is to analyse the trend in the use of TAA using a population-based...
