Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes after Total Ankle Arthroplasty and Suture Tape Augmentation for Ankle Arthritis Combined with Ankle Instability

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Tara Montsman discusses clinical and radiographic outcomes after total ankle arthroplasty and internal brace lateral ankle ligament reconstruction for arthritic ankle instability. The study looked at 33 patients who underwent primary total ankle arthroplasty with suture tape lateral ankle ligament reconstruction. They measured functional outcome scores, pain scores, and coronal deformity correction. Results showed a significant improvement in functional and pain scores and significant improvements in coronal plane deformity. No significant difference was found between the one and two-year mark, indicating that the correction was maintained. The use of suture tape in ankle arthroplasty appears to provide and maintain adequate correction for at least two years.
