Abstract
Brazil experiences a late participation in total ankle arthroplasty, which could have positive and negative aspects. The positive view argues about the modern implants that Brazil has received in the past years, skipping the early total ankle replacement generation who present more complications and low survival rate in the literature. The negative aspects are related to gap of experience with Brazilian surgeons unable to participate in the development of the technique and implant designs during these years. This article discusses the aspects of the Brazilian experience with total ankle replacement since the earliest procedures performed.
