Talar component subsidence correlates with periprosthetic osteolysis after total ankle arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between periprosthetic osteolysis around the talar component and the amount of talar component subsidence after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA).

Methods

This study included forty patients who underwent TAA with a mean follow-up of 67.5 ± 17.0 months. The patients were divided into two groups based on the amount of osteolysis around the talar component, as measured by computed tomography at the latest clinic visit: none to 2 mm (N group, n = 20) and greater than or equal to 2 mm (O group, n = 20). The average amount of talar component subsidence, clinical outcomes, and complications were compared between the two groups. In the O group, the correlation between osteolysis and talar component subsidence was evaluated.
