Hindfoot alignment after total ankle replacement - Paper Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Christopher Gross discusses the evaluation of hindfoot alignment after a fixed and multiple bearing total ankle prosthesis. The study analyzed 126 total ankle patients who underwent different systems of total ankle replacement. Preoperative and postoperative radiographic data was measured, including hindfoot alignment, coronal and sagittal angles. The results showed that in the fixed bearing trabecular metal ankle group, there was an increase in hindfoot alignment angle and distance at 24 months compared to preoperatively. In the mobile bearing device group, improvements were seen in various measurements of hindfoot alignment. It was concluded that while both fixed and mobile bearing implants maintained coronosagittal alignment in the short term, there were differences in hindfoot alignment between the two groups. No patient-reported outcomes were measured, and long-term outcomes and complications remain unknown.
