ankle replacement evolution
This document discusses total ankle replacement (TAR). It begins with the anatomy of the ankle joint and causes of ankle arthritis. Symptoms of ankle arthritis are described. The physical exam and tests to assess ankle stability are outlined. Treatment options for ankle arthritis include nonsurgical methods as well as different types of surgical procedures like arthrodesis (ankle fusion) and TAR. The history of TAR is summarized, including early constrained and unconstrained designs that had high failure rates. Modern TAR designs are classified and various implant systems currently in use are described, including their characteristics. The surgical approach and postoperative protocol for TAR are also summarized.

- 7. Mobility demands- 1.Dampening ofrotations imposed by more proximal joints of LL. 2.Being flexible enough as a shock absorber 3.Permitting the foot to conform to the changing and varied terrain on which foot is placed.

- 16. Physical Exam • Noteobvious deformities • Neurovascular exam • Pain to palpation of malleoli and ligaments • Pain at the ankle with compression • syndesmotic injury • Examine the hindfoot and forefoot for associated injuries
- 17. Stability Tests • AnteriorDrawer Test:- Used to evaluate tibiofibular ligament. Perform in both plantar flexion(test ATFL) & dorsiflexion(test CFL)
- 18. Continued… • Talar TiltTest :- With the patient relaxed & knee flexed, stabilize the leg with one hand & grasp the heel with other.Then foot 1st dorsiflexed & plantar flexed, invert the hindfoot. Excessive motion may indicate instability of tibio talar joint, subtalar joint or both.
- 19. Continued… • External rotationtest:- Foot should be in neutral position with the lower leg stabilized. Examiner should then externally rotate the foot. If this causes pain then must consider a tear of the anterior tibiofibular ligament. Depending on severity the interosseous membrane may be involved. Pain will be at site of the anterior tibiofibular ligament.

- 26. HISTORY • First anklereplacement was performed in 1970s • Two types of designs were developed Constrained Unconstrained 26 5/10/2015
- 27. • Constrained • Greaterstability but with reduced motion • Increased stresses at the bone – cement – implant interfaces leading to early loosening and failure Ex – St. George/Buchholz, Imperial College London Hospital, Conaxial and Mayo designs 27 5/10/2015
- 28. • Unconstrained • ImprovedROM in multiple planes but with reduced stability. • Less stress at the bone – cement – implant interface Ex – Waugh / Irvine, Smith and Newton Prostheses 5/10/2015 28
- 29. ‘Old generation’ anklereplacements consisted of a polyethylene tibial component and a metallic talar component. 29 5/10/2015
- 30. Modern ankle replacementconsists of metallic tibial and talar components, stabilized with or without cement. 30 5/10/2015
- 31. • In 1970,study was done by Lord and Marotte and was concluded with the current implants, Arthrodesis is a better option than Arthroplasty. • Inverted hip stem was used for tibia, talus was completely removed and then a cemented acetabular cup was inserted in the calcaneum 31 5/10/2015
