Why a Total Ankle
Arthroplasty?
Severe painful post-traumatic osteoarthritis
Comparison of Health-Related
Quality of Life Between Patients with
End-Stage Ankle & Hip Arthrosis
JBJS Mar 2008; 90:499-505
• End stage ankle arthritis is as
severe, if not worse, than end
stage hip disease.
Why a Total Ankle
Arthroplasty?
• The Need for Other Surgical Options:
» Debilitating pain
» Patients with large bone loss
» Subtalar and/or midtarsal arthrosis
» Bilateral involvement
• Other Advantages:
» Provides pain relief
» Preserves joint motion & stability

Total Ankle Replacement
• USA Data
• 2,300 – 4,000 TAA done in 2010
• 20,000 – 23,000 Fusions in 2010
• 96 % limp
• 15% < 4 yrs. develop subtalar arthritis
• 77 % satisfaction
Evaluation
• History
• Reason for DJD
• Prior treatments
• NSAIDS
• Bracing

Examination
• Gait
• Alignment
• Hip  knee  ankle  foot
• Varus/valgus

Selection of Implant
TAR: What Went Wrong?
• 1st generation problems
• Did not respect
• Anatomy
• Kinematics
• Alignment
• Stability
TAR: What Went Wrong?
• 1st generation problems
• Excessive bone resections
• Changed in level of the ankle axis
• Constrained design
• Poor cement fixation in fatty bone marrow
• Multi-axial design relied on ligaments
TAR: What Went Wrong?
MAYO prosthesis (1974)
IRVINE arthroplasty
TAR: What Went Wrong?
• High incidence of complications
» Delayed wound healing
» Fibular impingement
» Loosening (radiologic and clinical)
» Malleolar fractures
TAR: What Went Wrong?
Conaxial ankle
replacement medial
malleolar fracture
Ankle is in Varus and Tibial
Component is Loose
What Went Wrong?
Constrained
•Treated the ankle as a hinge joint - transfer
stresses to bone-cement interface
»TPR
»ICLH
»Conaxial
»Mayo Clinic (1976)
ICLH
arthroplasty
What Went Wrong?
Unconstrained
•Unstable, malleolar impingement
»Mayo (1989)
»Buckholz
»Smith
»Newton
»Irvine
SMITH arthroplasty
TAR: History/Development
• Next Generation Ankle Replacements
» Preserve bone stock
» Respect rotational axis
» Respect tibiopedal alignment
» Semiconstrained
» Biological fixation
Questions Outstanding
• Should the bearing be fixed or mobile?
• Fixed Bearings
• Track record in knee and hip
• One sided wear
• More difficult exchange
• Mobile bearings
• Good congruency  Easier ligament tensioning
• Incidence of medial joint pain secondary to tight
tensioning
• Subluxation induced wear concerning
Questions Outstanding
• Approach
• Anterior
• Coronal balance
• Wound complications 10-34%
• Lateral
• Fibular osteotomy
• More difficult to balance ankle
Questions Outstanding
• What Surfaces Need
Resurfacing?
»Superior tibiotalar joint (BP,
Zimmer)
»Superior and medial (TNK)
»Superior and lateral (Salto)

• Next Generation……..
• Instrumentation to
Find “Sweet Spot” in
Fixed Bearing
Prosthesis
Salto Data
• FB better than MB
• 98% survivorship @ 3.5 yrs
• 85% survivorship @ 7-11 yrs
• Significant improvement in gait
• Survivorship lower in low volume centers
Ankle Replacement: Salto
INBONE

Stacking components
Works: Cutting guides

Problem: Soft tissue imbalance
Works: Soft tissue tensioning.
Ankle Replacement: Inbone
Inbone Results
• 3.9yr f/u survivorship 89%
• Clinical experiences and anecdotes
STAR
2nd Generation Designs
• S.T.A.R prosthesis (Waldemar Link, Germany)
» 3-component design
» Free-gliding polyethylene meniscus
» Rotation/gliding between tibia and meniscus
» Flexion/extension between talar component
Ankle Replacement: STAR
STAR Outcomes
9/79 (11%) Painful Impingement Against
Malleoli
STAR Outcomes
2/79 Subtalar Subsidence requiring
Fusion
STAR Outcomes
STAR Results
• ? Concern on effect on talar blood supply
• Survivorship 96% @ 5 yrs
• Survivorship 90 - 70.7% @ 10yrs
• Survivorship 45.6% @ 14yrs
• Significant improvement in quality of life, pain, function
• Better function, = pain relief to fusion
Zimmer TAR
• Lateral approach
• Minimal bone resection
• Trabecular metal
• ? Difficulty with balancing
• Available only 1yr
Zimmer Results
• None to date
Selection of Implant
• Under 40yo
• Mobile bearing – STAR, Salto, Hintegra
• ? Zimmer
• Over 40yo
• Mobile bearing
• Fixed – Salto
• ? Zimmer
• Over 300lb (136kg), revision, big deformity
• Intramedullary device – InBone
Indications for TAA
•Optimal Patient
• Less excessive
demands
» Rheumatoid arthritic
patients
» Post-traumatic arthritis
• Older
• Multiple joint arthrosis
to slow them down
Indications for TAR
• Relative indication:
» Youthful, active individuals
• Contraindications:
» Talar AVN, Charcot Joint, neurologically
compromised foot, chronic infection
Outcomes
• TAR better than AA walking upstairs, downstairs, uphill
• TAR high rate of satisfaction & biomechanics of the gait
similar to a healthy ankle
• Bilateral gait mechanics
• Altered in fusion patients
• Relatively recovered TAR patients
• Gait patterns in 3component, mobile-bearing TAR more
closely resembled normal gait compared to fusion
Outcomes
• TAR & fusion significant improvements in various
parameters of gait
• Neither group functioned as well as normal control
subjects
• Fusion relieves pain and improves overall function
• Persistent alterations in gait
• TAR - improvements in pain and gait up to 2 years
Conclusions
• Both ankle design and technique dictate
what works to obtain a good result
• Expanding capability of ankle
replacements
• Offer opportunity to do ankle replacements
in all patients, regardless of deformity or
previous surgery

  • 54. Indications for TAR • Relative indication: » Youthful, active individuals • Contraindications: » Talar AVN, Charcot Joint, neurologically compromised foot, chronic infection
  • 55. Outcomes • TAR better than AA walking upstairs, downstairs, uphill • TAR high rate of satisfaction & biomechanics of the gait similar to a healthy ankle • Bilateral gait mechanics • Altered in fusion patients • Relatively recovered TAR patients • Gait patterns in 3component, mobile-bearing TAR more closely resembled normal gait compared to fusion
  • 56. Outcomes • TAR & fusion significant improvements in various parameters of gait • Neither group functioned as well as normal control subjects • Fusion relieves pain and improves overall function • Persistent alterations in gait • TAR - improvements in pain and gait up to 2 years
  • 57. Conclusions • Both ankle design and technique dictate what works to obtain a good result • Expanding capability of ankle replacements • Offer opportunity to do ankle replacements in all patients, regardless of deformity or previous surgery
