Apply basic orthopedic principles to TAA in stage 4 acquired flatfoot deformity

Through modern implants and improved surgical techniques, surgeons are able to achieve improved outcomes with total ankle arthroplasty, including in patients with increasing levels of foot and ankle deformity. Initial expert opinion suggested that total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) in the setting of 15° or more of coronal plane malalignment is contraindicated. More recently, longer term outcomes of TA

Review Description

Coronal plane deformity following total ankle arthroplasty has been associated with poor clinical outcomes and early prosthesis failure. Neutral mechanical alignment and prosthetic joint stability must be achieved through meticulous surgical planning and precise technical execution. Cavovarus foot deformity and varus malalignment of the lower extremity is reviewed, with particular emphasis as it relates to total ankle arthroplasty. Correction of varus malalignment may be performed at the time of total ankle arthroplasty or as a 2-stage procedure. Surgeon experience, revision total ankle arthroplasty, and subtalar arthrodesis should be considerations when contemplating 2-stage varus correction.
