The efficacy of ankle arthroplasty on motor function recovery in patients with orthopedic ankle injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: This study analyzed the effects of ankle arthroplasty on the recovery of motor function in patients with orthopedic ankle injury.

Methods: English databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of ankle arthroplasty, ankle replacement, and joint prosthesis on motor function recovery in patients with orthopedic ankle injury. The outcome indicators included the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, the 36-item short form survey (SF-36) score, the Foot and Ankle Ability Measures (FAAM) score, and the visual analog scale (VAS) score.
