Long-term Survivorship of Transfibular Trabecular Metal Total Ankle Arthroplasty: 10-Year Minimum Clinical and Radiographic Follow-up

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the long-term survivorship of the trabecular metal transfibular total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) over a minimum follow-up period of 10 years. Their findings indicate a high implant survivorship rate of 98.6% and stable clinical and radiographic outcomes, suggesting that this surgical approach is a durable option for treating ankle arthritis.
