Background: The use of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) in the treatment of ankle arthritis has grown substantially as advancements are made in design and surgical technique. Among the criteria guiding the choice between arthroplasty and arthrodesis, the long-term survival and postoperative outcomes are of crucial importance. Although outcomes of the INBONE I have been published, there is limited midterm survival data for the INBONE II. The purpose of this study was to determine the radiographic and patient-reported outcomes, and survivorship of this prosthesis in patients with a minimum 5-year follow-up.

Methods: We retrospectively identified 51 ankles (46 patients) from 2010 to 2015 who underwent TAA with the INBONE II prosthesis at our institution. Of these, 44 cases had minimum clinical follow-up of 5 years (mean, 6.4; range 5-9). Median age was 66 years (range 42-81) and median BMI was 27.5 (range 20.1-33.0). A chart review was performed to record the incidence of revision and reoperation. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs were analyzed to assess the coronal tibiotalar alignment (TTA), the talar inclination angle, and the presence of periprosthetic lucencies and cyst formation. Preoperative and minimum 5-year postoperative Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) subscales were compared. Survivorship was determined by incidence of revision, defined as removal of a metallic component.

Results: The survivorship at 5 years was 98% and the rate of reoperation was 7.8% (n = 4); 2 patients underwent irrigation and debridement for infection, 1 patient underwent a medializing calcaneal osteotomy, and 1 patient underwent open gutter debridement, 1 patient underwent a revision of a subsided talar component at 3.2 years after index surgery. Average postoperative TTA was 88.6 degrees, with 42 rated as neutral (85-95 degrees), 2 varus (<85 degrees), and no valgus (>95 degrees) ankles. At final follow-up, asymptomatic periprosthetic cysts were observed in 8 patients. All FAOS domain scores improved between preoperative and final follow-up.

Conclusion: At midterm follow-up, we observed significant improvement in radiographic alignment and patient-reported outcome scores for the INBONE II total ankle prosthesis. In addition, this cohort has had a relatively low reoperation rate and high survivorship.

Level Of Evidence: Level IV, case series.

Adaptations for bipedal walking: Musculoskeletal structure and three-dimensional joint mechanics of humans and bipedal chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).

Authors:
Matthew C O'Neill Brigitte Demes Nathan E Thompson Susan G Larson Jack T Stern Brian R Umberger

School of Kinesiology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2013, USA.

Humans are unique among apes and other primates in the musculoskeletal design of their lower back, pelvis, and lower limbs. Here, we describe the three-dimensional ground reaction forces and lower/hindlimb joint mechanics of human and bipedal chimpanzees walking over a full stride and test whether: 1) the estimated limb joint work and power during the stance phase, especially the single-support period, is lower in humans than bipedal chimpanzees, 2) the limb joint work and power required for limb swing is lower in humans than in bipedal chimpanzees, and 3) the estimated total mechanical power during walking, accounting for the storage of passive elastic strain energy in humans, is lower in humans than in bipedal chimpanzees. Humans and bipedal chimpanzees were compared at matched dimensionless and dimensional velocities. Read More

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2022 May 20. Epub 2022 May 20.

Department of Orthopaedics, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Purpose: To determine the relationships among calf muscle function, tendon length and gait biomechanics in patients surgically treated for chronic Achilles tendon rupture.

Methods: Twenty-one patients with chronic Achilles tendon rupture (mean age 62 ± 13 years) were evaluated by heel-rise endurance test, Achilles Tendon Resting Angle (ATRA), ultrasound measurement of tendon length and three-dimensional gait analysis. A bivariate two-sided correlation test was performed on all variables in all patients. Read More

Clinical Outcomes for Pilon Variant Posterior Malleolar Fractures: A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis.

Authors:
Alexandra T Black Jered M Stowers Son Tran Karla De La Mata Alain E Sherman Ali RahnamaVaghef

J Foot Ankle Surg 2022 Apr 25. Epub 2022 Apr 25.

Fellowship-Trained Foot and Ankle Surgeon, Assistant Professor, Georgetown University School of Medicine, Washington, DC.

Currently, there is no consensus on surgical approach for posterior malleolar fracture fragments with significant posteromedial involvement. The Bartonicek type III/Haraguchi type II posterior malleolar morphologies typically involve large posteromedial fragments, behaving like a pilon injury and have been reported as pilon variant fractures. We performed a retrospective chart review at 2 large healthcare institutions, evaluating patients that underwent surgical management of pilon variant posterior malleolar fractures and determining clinical outcomes including: time to union, union rates, soft tissue complications, infection and time to weight bearing.
