Five-Year Results of the Salto XT Revision Ankle Arthroplasty.

Background: The treatment of failed ankle replacements is debated, and little is published about the medium- and long-term results of revision implants. We wanted to examine prosthesis survival and physical function at least 5 years after insertion of the Salto XT revision prosthesis.

Methods: All consecutive patients operated with a Salto XT revision prosthesis underwent clinical and radiologic examinations preoperatively and after 3, 12, 24, and 60 months.

Retrograde nailing, trabecular metal implant and use of bone marrow aspirate concentrate after failed ankle joint replacement.

Background: Ankle fusion after removal of alloplasty is known to be a procedure with a high potential for non-unions and poor function, especially tibio-talo-calcaneal fusion. We wanted to review our results after using a novel method for the procedure, combining retrograde nailing with a trabecular metal implant and bone marrow aspirate concentration applied in an ostoconductive pad in addition to autologous bone grafting.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of a patient series, with some prospectively registered data.
