Abstract
- PURPOSE
We evaluated the complications and failures after total ankle arthroplasty during at least 2 years short term follow up.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
There were 45 cases of 42 patients of HINTEGRA(R) (Newdeal SA, Lyon, France) model from November 2004 to August 2006. Follow up averaged at least 2 year. We evaluated the complications and analyzed the cause of the failures.
RESULTS
There were totally 15 cases of complication, 5 cases of medial impingement syndrome, 3 cases of varus malposition, 2 cases of delayed healing of wounds, and each one case of deep peroneal nerve problem, medial malleolus fracture, post-operative deep infection, gouty arthritis pain, and Achilles tendinitis.
CONCLUSION
Total ankle arthroplasty had higher complication rate than any other joint arthroplasty, so we need a more meticulous preoperative and peri-operative care.
