AI Article Synopsis
- Severe bone defects in the anterior distal tibia often complicate total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and are commonly seen as contraindications for the procedure.
- An innovative technique involving a structural tibial cut autograft is proposed to effectively address these bone defects during TAA.
- This approach provides a solid alternative to traditional methods like using revision TAA systems and allows for better sagittal alignment and fixation strength of the tibial component.
Article Abstract
Severe bone defects pose a clinical challenge in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and are frequently considered contraindicated. We introduce an innovative approach that utilizes a structural tibial cut autograft to address anterior distal tibia bone defects during TAA. This technique is a viable alternative to employing revision TAA systems or resorting to excessively high tibial cuts. Furthermore, it facilitates achieving favorable sagittal alignment and ensures adequate fixation strength of the tibial component.
