Total Ankle Replacement for Treatment of Avascular Necrosis of the Talus

Abstract: Avascular necrosis (AVN) of talus is a well-known complication following talar neck fracture that leads to osteoarthritis of the ankle joint. Tibiotalar fusion is the gold standard of treatment in end-stage ankle osteoarthritis with predictable good outcome. With the introduction of newer generation of total ankle replacement (TAR), it is gaining popularity as an alternative treatment in selected cases of ankle joint osteoarthritis secondary to AVN talus. We present here a case of ankle joint osteoarthritis se… Show more

“…TAR is the replacement of the tibiotalar joint with removal of the injured portions of the talus and the tibia to relieve pain and preserve limb length and mobility 20,21 . This procedure can be used for the treatment of osteonecrosis when necrosis of the talar body is <50%; if the necrosis is ≥50%, the procedure is absolutely contraindicated 4 , although many surgeons would consider any collapse of the talar dome as a contraindication to TAR.…”

“…The primary concern with TAR is talar subsidence 21 . Thus, in order for TAR to be successful, the interface between the prosthesis and the natural bone must be stable, and good bone stock must be available 4,20,21 . The risk of collapse of the talar body following ankle replacement increases according to the degree of osteoporosis and arthritis 23 .…”

“…Computer graphics involve the representation of image data using a computer for the better understanding and interpretation of data [18], [19]. Preoperative planning for high tibial osteotomy is vital for the surgeon in planning the location for cutting the tibia, defining the angle and preview the forecast result.…”
