Introduction Osteoarthritis of the ankle is a major burden to affected patients. While tibio-talar arthrodesis has been the gold-standard regarding the treatment of osteoarthritis of the ankle joint for many years, at present total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) provides appealing clinical outcomes and is continually gaining popularity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intermediate- to long-term clinical outcome including the survival rate of Salto Mobile Bearing TAA (Tonier SA, Saint Ismier, France). Material and methods In this retrospective study intermediate- to long-term outcomes measures [Ankle Range of Motion (ROM), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS score) and survival rate] of 171 consecutive TAA were analysed and compared before and after surgery. Revision was defined as secondary surgery with prothesis component removal, while reoperation was defined as a non-revisional secondary surgery involving the ankle. Results At a mean follow-up (FU) period of 7.2 ± 2.7 years (range 2.0 to 14.1 years) there was a significant improvement in ankle ROM (total ROM improved from 25.0° ± 15.0° to 28.7° ± 11.3°, p = 0.015; plantarflexion improved from 18.4° ± 11.7° to 20.6° ± 8.2°, p = 0.044; dorsiflexion improved from 6.6° ± 5.7° to 8.1° ± 4.9°, p = 0.011). AOFAS score increased significantly by 41 ± 15 points after surgery (43.3 ± 11.1 before and 84.3 ± 12.0 after surgery, p < 0.001). Overall survival rate within the FU was 81.3% (95% CI 75.3% to 87.3%) with any secondary surgery, 89.9% (95% CI 84.1% to 93.6%) with revision and 93.6% (95% CI 89.8% to 97.3%) with reoperation as endpoint. Conclusion This study endorses the previously reported appealing intermediate- to long-term outcomes of the Salto Mobile Bearing TAA. There was a significant increase in ROM and AOFAS score as well as decent implant survival at final FU.
