ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We evaluated the complications and failures after total ankle arthroplasty during at least 2 years short term follow up. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
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.
