Effect of Coronal and Sagittal Alignment on Outcome After Mobile-Bearing Total Ankle Replacement.

Background: Comparably high revision rates are reported after total ankle replacement (TAR). Therefore, further critical analysis of the influence of implant position on clinical outcome is necessary.

Methods: We analyzed the reliability and predictive value of previously published pre- and postoperative coronal and sagittal parameters in routine ankle radiographs on the clinical outcome of 84 HINTEGRA total ankle replacements (Newdeal, Lyon, France; Integra, Plainsboro, New Jersey).

Are our expectations bigger than the results we achieve? a comparative study analysing potential advantages of ankle arthroplasty over arthrodesis.

Purpose: Prior studies have reported improved gait performance and kinematics after total ankle arthroplasty (TAR) compared to ankle arthrodesis (AAD). Given these findings, AAD has been primarily considered as a salvage procedure that may lead to adjacent joint degeneration.

Methods: A total of 101 TAR and 40 screw arthrodeses were enrolled in a retrospective study with a prospectively designed follow-up examination that included gait analysis and outcome assessment with the AOFAS hindfoot score and FAOS questionnaire.

A prospective randomized assessment of earlier functional recovery in THA patients treated by minimally invasive direct anterior approach: a gait analysis study.

Background: Total hip replacement using a minimally invasive surgical approach is claimed to enable recovering of motor function more quickly. The purpose of this prospective As per the stylesheet, kindly provide section headings for abstract.and randomized study was to test this claim by evaluating early patient functional outcomes by gait analysis.
