Abstract
With continuing advancements in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), it is quickly becoming the procedure of choice for older patients with end-stage ankle arthritis. Multiple studies have been conducted on younger patients who have undergone TAA with promising results, but is it the procedure of choice? Considerations of TAA versus ankle arthrodesis, TAA implant longevity, outcomes of revision TAA, and whether patients should be offered an arthrodesis with plans for conversion to arthroplasty may help elucidate whether pursuing ankle arthroplasty in a younger, more active population is the correct approach for surgeons.
