A New Zealand national joint registry review of 202 total ankle replacements followed for up to 6 years.

Background And Purpose: There have been few reports of large series of ankle replacements. The aim of this study was to document and evaluate the early results of a nationwide series of total ankle replacements (TARs) performed using second- and third-generation implants.

Methods: Records of total ankle replacements performed between February 2000 and November 2005 were retrieved from the New Zealand National Joint Registry and retrospectively reviewed at a mean of 28 months after the primary procedure.
