摘要

Category:Ankle ArthritisIntroduction/Purpose:Ankle arthritis is a leading cause of pain and disability. The effect of this condition on physical and mental health is similar to end stage hip arthritis. There is paucity of literature on PROMS outcomes following total ankle replacements (TAR) in comparison to total hip replacement (THR) or knee replacement (TKR). We aimed to study the 5 year outcomes of TAR in comparison with TKR and THRMethods:PROMS data from patients who underwent a primary THR, TKR or TAR from March 2003 to 2013 were collected from our hospital patient registry. They were divided into 3 groups based on the type of primary joint replacement. Patient demographics and patient reported outcomes (WOMAC, SF-36 scores and patient satisfaction scores at follow up) were compared at pre-op and 5 year follow up.Results:There was data available on 1920 THR, 2582 TKR and 248 TAR patients. Pre-operatively, TAR patients reported higher function scores when compared to THR and TKR (40.2 vs. 34.2 and 35....
