Abstract

Treatment of the ankle joint with total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is an established and safe surgical treatment for osteoarthritis of the ankle. Modern implants have low revision rates and are superior to ankle arthrodesis in terms of patient-reported outcomes. The importance of primary TAA treatment of ankle fractures is unclear. There are currently no studies in the literature on this topic. In view of the increasing number of cases of unstable ankle fractures, especially in older patients and with increasing functional demands also in old age, it is important to consider TAA in the management of these fractures in the future. Clinical studies are necessary to evaluate the treatment of ankle fractures using TAA.
