Association of Preoperative Coronal Plane Deformity With Postoperative Tibial Bone-Prosthesis Interface Lucency in the Cadence Total Ankle.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minimal resection total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has been linked to an increased incidence of tibial component lucency in large preoperative coronal plane deformity. Lucency has been linked to implant loosening. Because radiographic lucency may reflect implant micromotion, lack of bony ingrowth and/or early component loosening, we analyzed a series of TAA cases with varying degrees of preoperative coronal deformity. Our primary aim was to determine if larger preoperative tibiotalar angles were associated with increased postoperative tibial component lucency in the Cadence TAA system.

Methods

A retrospective review of a single surgeon's TAA procedures using the Cadence prosthesis was conducted. Patients aged ≥18 years who underwent Cadence TAA from January 1, 2018,
