Abstract
No differences have been found between total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and ankle arthrodesis (AA) with respect to patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), although both interventions were shown to improve PROMs with respect to the preoperative situation. That is, both interventions (AA and TAA) were effective in improving preoperative symptoms. On the other hand, 2-year complication rates were higher after AA (27%) than after TAA (16%); however, infection rates were similar (4%). The published revision rate after AA is 16% versus 11% after TAA. In short, TAA and AA appear to offer the same PROMs, but TAA has a lower rate of complications (except for infection) and revisions.
