Ankle Arthroplasty

Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Periprosthetic osteolysis in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a substantial problem. It may cause implant failure and has potential to affect long-term implant survival. To prevent major revisional arthroplasty, it is important to make an early diagnosis of osteolysis and decide an appropriate timing of surgical intervention such as bone graft. We report our experience of bone graft for osteolysis after TAA associated with clinical and radiologic outcome. Methods: Between May 2004 and Oct. 2013, 238 primary TAA were performed on 219 patients. We excluded 37 ankles with follow-up less than 24 months; thus, 201 ankles in 185 patients with mean follow-up of 61.9 (range, 24-130) months were included in the study. Nineteen patients were treated with a total of 21 bone graft procedures for periprosthetic osteolysis after TAA. Of these patients, 12 (57.1%) were males with mean follow-up length after bone graft 35.0 months. Location of osteolysis, bone grafting method and clinical outcome parameters using visual analog scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score were recorded. Results: Radiographs revealed total of 62 osteolysis lesions in 19 patients; 35 (56.5%) distal tibial lesions, 23 (37.0%) talar lesions. Autogenous iliac bone graft was used in 18 procedures (85.7%). The mean scores (and standard deviation) improved for the VAS from 4.8 ± 1.23 points before bone graft to 3.0 ± 0.94 points at the last follow-up (p<0.05); and for the AOFAS score from 76.8 ± 5.9 before bone graft to 84.3 ± 4.5 at the last follow-up (p<0.05). After 21 bone graft procedures, 6 demonstrated detection of newly developed osteolysis. One patient needed a repeat bone graft procedure with cementation after the primary bone grafting due to large cyst on distal tibia. There was no implant failure or major revisions after the bone graft. Conclusion: Bone graft for periprosthetic osteolysis may improve patient’s clinical outcome and give support to the structures surrounding the implant. Bone grafting in optimal timing may also improve implant survivorship. However, further study is needed for the etiology of newly developed painless osteolysis even after the bone graft.

Effect Of Age

Aims To assess the effect of age on clinical outcome and revision rates in patients who underwent total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis (OA). Methods A consecutive series of 811 ankles (789 patients) that underwent TAA between May 2003 and December 2013 were enrolled. The influence of age on clinical outcome, including the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score, and pain according to the visual analogue scale (VAS) was assessed. In addition, the risk for revision surgery that includes soft tissue procedures, periarticular arthrodeses/osteotomies, ankle joint debridement, and/or inlay exchange (defined as minor revision), as well as the risk for revision surgery necessitating the exchange of any of the metallic components or removal of implant followed by ankle/hindfoot fusion (defined as major revision) was calculated. Results A significant improvement in the AOFAS hindfoot score and pain relief between the preoperative assessment and the last follow-up was evident. Age had a positive effect on pain relief. The risk for a minor or major revision was 28.7 % at the mean follow-up of 5.4 years and 11.0 % at a mean follow-up of 6.9 years respectively. The hazard of revision was not affected by age. Conclusion The clinical outcome, as well as the probability for revision surgery following TAA, is comparable between younger and older patients. The overall revision rate of the Hintegra total ankle is comparable with other three component designs. TAA should no longer be reserved for low demand elderly patients, but should also be recognized as a viable option for active patients of younger age.

Ankle Arthroplasty

Category: Ankle Arthritis; Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Periprosthetic osteolysis in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a substantial problem. It may cause implant failure and has potential to affect long-term implant survival. To prevent major revisional arthroplasty, it is important to make an early diagnosis of osteolysis and decide an appropriate timing of surgical intervention such as bone graft. We report our updated result of bone graft for osteolysis after TAA associated with clinical and radiologic outcome. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated our consecutive series of 440 primary TAAs performed between May 2004 and August 2018 and identified those who had a subsequent bone graft procedure. A total of 38 bone graft procedures for periprosthetic osteolysis after TAA were performed. Mean time-interval between primary TAA and bone graft was 5.09 years (range 17.0 to 127.0 months). Location of osteolysis, bone grafting method and clinical outcome parameters using visual analog scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score were recorded. Results: Radiographs revealed periprosthetic osteolysis in 51.8% (58/112) of distal tibial lesions and 41.1% (46/112) of talar lesions. Autogenous iliac bone graft was used in most of procedures. Both mean VAS and AOFAS scores improved significantly at the last follow-up (p<0.05) One patient needed a repeat bone graft procedure with additional bone cementation after the primary bone grafting due to large cyst on distal tibia. There was no implant failure or major revisions after the bone graft. Conclusion: Bone graft for periprosthetic osteolysis may improve patient’s clinical outcome and give support to the structures surrounding the implant. Bone grafting in optimal timing may also improve implant survivorship. However, further study is needed for the etiology of newly developed painless osteolysis even after the bone graft.

The Ideal

Recommendation: Every intra-articular injection of the ankle is an invasive procedure associated with potential healthcare-associated infections, including periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Based on the limited current literature, the ideal timing for elective TAA after corticosteroid injection for the symptomatic native ankle joint is unknown. The consensus workgroup recommends that at least 3 months pass after corticosteroid injection and prior to performing TAA. Level of Evidence: Limited. Delegate Vote: Agree: 92%, Disagree: 8%, Abstain: 0% (Super Majority, Strong Consensus)

Before And After

Background: Information regarding the effect of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) on midfoot function is extremely limited. The purpose of this study was to characterize midfoot region motion and power during walking in people before and after TAA. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of 19 patients with end-stage ankle arthritis who received a TAA and 19 healthy control group participants. A motion capture and force plate system was used to record sagittal and transverse plane first metatarsal and lateral forefoot with respect to hindfoot motion, as well as sagittal plane midfoot region positive and negative peak power during walking. Parametric or nonparametric tests to examine differences and equivalence across time were conducted. Comparisons to examine differences between postoperative TAA group and control group foot function were also performed. Results: Involved-limb midfoot function was not different between the preoperative and 6-month postoperative time point in the TAA group (all P ≥ .17). Equivalence testing revealed similarity in all midfoot function variables across time (all P < .05). Decreased first metatarsal and lateral forefoot motion, as well as positive peak power generation, were noted in the TAA group postoperative involved limb in comparison to the control group (all P ≤ .01). Conclusion: The similarity of midfoot function across time, along with differences in midfoot function in comparison to controls, suggests that TAA does not change midfoot deficits by 6 months postoperation. Level of Evidence: Level II, prospective cohort study.
