“…We used foot and ankle outcome scores (FAOSs) [25], which included subscores (score, 0-100; subscales: pain, symptoms, ADLs, sports and recreation [Sports/Rec], and quality of life [QoL]) and total scores (score 0-500) to assess clinical outcomes. Ankle pain was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) (from 0 to 10).…”

Treating AO/OTA 44B lateral malleolar fracture in patients over 50 years of age: periarticular locking plate versus non-locking plate

Background: The role of locking plate in lateral malleolar fracture fixation for the elderly remains unclear. The aim of our study is to compare radiological and functional outcomes in older patients (> 50 years) with AO/OTA 44B lateral malleolar fractures after locking plate (PLP) or one-third non-locking tubular plate (TP) lateral fixation. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 72 patients (PLP group, 34 patients; TP group, 38 patients; mean age, 61.9 ± 7.6 years; range, 51-80 years; follow-up, 1 year). Patients with open fractures, syndesmosis injuries, and a previous ankle trauma or surgery were excluded. Demographic data, union rate, complications, radiographic outcomes, visual analog scale (VAS) scores, and foot and ankle outcome scores (FAOSs) between the groups were recorded and compared. We also investigated the association of clinical features with pain and function. Statistically, the Fisher's exact test was used for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney U test for the continuous variables. The final model for the multiple regression analysis was used to predict factors related to functional outcomes. Results: There were no significant between-group differences in demographic data, complication rates, immediately postoperative distal fibula lengths, ankle osteoarthritis (OA) grades, talar tilt angles (TTAs) ≥ 2°, or reduction accuracy. All fractures achieved union. The PLP group had significantly lower rates of distal screw loosening, fibula shortening > 2 mm, OA grade progression, and TTAs ≥ 2°, and better FAOSs and VAS scores than was the case for the TP group after 1 year of follow-up (all p < 0.05). The severity of OA, TTA ≥ 2°, and distal screw loosening were positively associated with VAS scores, and negatively associated with FAOSs. Conclusions: When treating AO/OTA 44B fractures in patients over 50 years of age, PLPs provided better VAS scores, FAOSs, and radiological outcomes, including less fibula shortening > 2 mm, less osteoarthritic (OA) ankle progression, less implant removal rate, and fewer TTAs ≥ 2°than was the case for TPs after a 1-year follow-up. Level of evidence: Therapeutic level III

“…All patients were followed up at two weeks, six weeks, three months, six months, at one year and yearly thereafter. At the latest follow-up, modified American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) 24 , Foot and Ankle Outcome Scores (FAOS) 25 and EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D) 26 scores were collected, along with weight-bearing radiographs of the ankle.…”

Aims: Modern designs of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) have the potential to treat symptomatic ankle OA without adversely affecting ankle biomechanics. We present the mid-term results of a modern, mobile-bearing TAA design. Methods: TAA was performed in 50 consecutive patients (55 ankles) in an independent, prospective, single-centre series. Implant survival, patientreported outcome measures (PROMs) and radiographic outcomes are presented at a mean of five years (range 2-10.5 years). Results: A total of three patients (four ankles) died and two (two ankles) were lost to follow-up. Three TAAs were revised for aseptic loosening (in two cases) or infection. Two further patients underwent reoperations, one for arthroscopic debridement of anterolateral synovitis and one for grafting of an asymptomatic tibial cyst. With all-cause revision as an endpoint, implant survival was 93.3% at five to ten years (95% CI 80.5%-97.8%). If reoperations are included this falls to 90.2% (95% CI 75.6%-96.3%) at five years. No other patient demonstrated radiographic evidence of loosening or subsidence. PROMs and satisfaction were excellent at latest follow-up. Conclusion: At five years, the outcomes for this design of TAA in this series were excellent, and were similar to those of previously published series from the designer centre.

“…In the original study , no floor effects were observed, although ceiling effects were evident for the pain (34% of patients recording the highest possible score), other symptoms (24%), activities of daily living (44%), sport and recreation (30%), and quality of life (19%) subscales. Ceiling effects were also observed in a study of 136 patients undergoing surgery for ankle osteoarthritis, in which 29% of patients recorded the highest possible score for the sport and recreation subscale .…”
