Background: Although intraoperative ankle motion serves as a foundational reference for anticipated motion after surgery and guides the addition of procedures to enhance ankle motion in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), the relationship between intraoperative and postoperative ankle motion remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the discrepancy between intraoperative and postoperative ankle range of motion (ROM) following TAAs using the anterior-approach, fixed-bearing systems. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 67 patients (67 ankles) who underwent primary TAA at a single institution. Three different types of anterior-approach, fixed-bearing TAA systems were included. Intraoperative fluoroscopy was used to document the maximal dorsiflexion and plantar flexion at the end of the case. Standardized weightbearing maximum dorsiflexion and plantar flexion sagittal radiographs were obtained pre- and postoperatively, following a previously described method. The motion between 3 different time points (preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative [mean 11.4 months]) was compared using pairwise t tests, and their differences were quantified. Results: The mean total tibiotalar ROM was 38.1 degrees (SD 7.8) intraoperatively, and the postoperative total tibiotalar ROM was 24.2 degrees (SD 9.7) (P <.001), indicating that a mean of 65.3% (SD 26.7) of the intraoperative motion was maintained postoperatively. Intraoperative dorsiflexion (mean 11.6 [SD 4.5] degrees) showed no evidence of difference from postoperative dorsiflexion (mean 11.4 [SD 5.8] degrees, P >.99), indicating that a median of 95.6% (interquartile range: 66.2-112) of the intraoperative maximum dorsiflexion was maintained postoperatively. However, there was a significant difference between intraoperative plantarflexion (mean 26.4 [SD 6.3]) and postoperative plantarflexion (12.8 [SD 6.9] degrees, P <.001), indicating a mean 50.6% (SD 29.6) of intraoperative motion maintained in the postoperative assessment. There was an improvement of 2.5 degrees in the total tibiotalar ROM following TAA with statistical significance (P <.043). Conclusion: This study revealed a significant difference between intraoperative ankle ROM and ankle ROM approximately 1 year after anterior-approach, fixed-bearing TAA, mainly due to plantarflexion motion restriction. Minimal difference in dorsiflexion suggests the importance of achieving the desired postoperative dorsiflexion motion during the surgery using the best possible adjunct procedures. Level of Evidence: Level IV, case series. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
