| Popis: | Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Over the last few decades, total ankle replacement (TAR) emerged as a reliable treatment option in end-stage ankle osteoarthritis (OA) while preserving motion and physiological load. The Cadence™ prosthesis, manufactured by Integra LifeSciences, is a two-component, fixed-bearing implant with minimal tibial and talar resection and has been in clinical use since June 2016. The purpose of this study is to assess the two-year validated clinical outcome scores and radiological parameters of the Cadence™ prosthesis at our hospital. Methods: Thirty-one consecutive patients who received the Cadence™ prosthesis between June 2016 and December 31st, 2016 were enrolled. All patients who underwent a primary TAR with the Cadence™ prosthesis and who had at least two years follow- up were included. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon with experience in total ankle arthroplasty. At the yearly clinical evaluation, patients were administered the Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and their radiological outcomes pre and post-surgery were assessed. Results: Thirty-one patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Forty ancillary procedures were performed on twenty-four TAR’s. Radiological analyses showed preoperative talar sagittal translation with 25 anterior, 2 posterior, and 4 neutral. Sagittal translation decreased from an average 3.11 mm to 1.0 mm. Eleven ankles had a perioperative talar Varus and Valgus deformity that was corrected, with neutral alignment in all. At the two-year clinic visit, x-rays showed no lucencies or stress fractures and none of the ankles required revision of metal components. The pre and post-operative pain and disability scores displayed major improvement wherein AOS pain scores decreased -20.28 ± 14.34 points from an average of 47.86 points while AOS disability scores decreased -32.11 ± 22.70 from an average of 57.15 points. Conclusion: The overall outcome of the total ankle arthroplasty with the Cadence™ prosthesis showed excellent clinical and radiological outcomes. Compelling clinical evidence shows that the quality of life, functional measures, and pain in patients suffering from end-stage arthritis significantly improved following surgery with the Cadence™ total ankle replacement system. The semi- constrained design of this two-component implant and utilization of biased polyethylene inserts allowed for correction of the talus in both the sagittal (talar anterior / posterior translation) and coronal planes (talar varus / valgus). |
