Background The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to determine the
change in gait biomechanics after total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis for end …

Ankle osteoarthritis is a debilitating disease with approximately 50,000 new cases per year
leading to skeletal deformity, severe and recurrent pain, cartilage breakdown, and gait …

Background Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is an alternative to arthrodesis, but no
randomized trial has examined whether a fixed bearing or mobile bearing implant provides …

Background Common etiologies for post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis are ankle fractures
and chronic ankle instability. As the nature of trauma is different for these two etiologies, it …

Aims Preoperative talar valgus deformity≥ 15° is considered a contraindication for total
ankle arthroplasty (TAA). We compared operative procedures and clinical outcomes of TAA …

Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a common surgical approach for patients with end‐stage
ankle osteoarthritis (OA). However, very little is known about the path of the center of …

Objective Ankle joint line orientation (AJLO) is influenced by the subtalar foot and frontal leg
alignment. However, the influence of axial leg alignment on AJLO remains unclear. The …

Background: Coronal plane ankle joint alignment is typically assessed using the tibiotalar
angle (TTA), which relies on the anatomical axis of the tibia (AAT) and the articular surface of …

Background Post-operative alignment is the most critical indicator for a successful total ankle
arthroplasty (TAA). Total ankle malrotation is associated with an increased risk for …

Introduction Inadequate correction of mechanical alignment may lead to failure of Total
Ankle Replacements (TAR). The mechanical axis of the lower limb (MAL), the mechanical …
