Background: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) continues to be investigated as a primary treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. The objective of this study is to report mid- to long-term results of the Salto Talaris TAA using prospectively collected patient-reported outcomes and implant survival rates with 4- to 13-year follow-up.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of prospectively collected data from 2 multicenter cohort studies from 3 centers. Three hundred fourteen subjects who received a Salto Talaris TAA from 2005 to 2015 were included in the study. Follow-up ranged 4-13 years following index procedure. Outcomes included 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) mental and physical component summary scores, pain scores, and adverse events including additional surgeries, revision, or removal of components.
Results: Significant improvements were seen in pain and physical function scores at 2-year follow-up and were generally maintained through most recent follow-up. The survival rate of the prosthesis was >95% (n = 30/32 at >10 years, n = 272/282 at 4.5-10 years). Thirteen patients (4.1%) underwent revision or removal of their prosthesis. Time to revision ranged from 2 months to 6.5 years following the index procedure. Twenty-two patients (7.0%) had additional surgery that did not involve revision or removal of components.
Conclusion: Treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis with this implant provided patients with improved pain and functional outcome scores at mid- to long-term follow-up. The significant improvements reported at 2-4 years appeared to endure through the extended follow-up period.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Design Rational for Total Ankle Arthroplasty: An Update.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
November 2024
From the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC (Gross and Scott), the University of California Irvine, Orange, CA (Hsu), and the Palomar Health Medical Group, San Diego, CA (Palanca).
The design of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) systems is rapidly evolving as device companies try to keep pace with the expansion of surgical indications and a refinement of techniques for TAA. Even since the publication of the latest "update," published in 2018, three new designs and three updates on preexisting third-generation implants came onto the market. Improvements in third-generation TAA systems include minimal bone resection, retaining ligamentous support, and anatomic balancing.

Background: Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has become increasingly popular in the treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis in recent decades. However, there is limited evidence regarding the long-term clinical outcomes and complication rates of modern TAA implants.
Methods: This study presents a follow-up on a previous cohort involving 78 patients (81 ankles) who underwent Salto Talaris fixed-bearing TAA to treat end-stage arthritis, with a mean postoperative follow-up of 5.

Background: Despite substantial increase in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) nationwide, there are few studies comparing flat-cut vs chamfer-cut talar systems in TAA with regard to radiographic aseptic loosening rates of the implant.
Methods: This retrospective study included 189 Salto-Talaris TAA and 132 INBONE II primary TAA with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Patient characteristics were obtained including gender, age at surgery, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, primary diagnosis, surgical time, and the presence of diabetes.
