Popis: Background. Few studies have outlined the outcomes and complications in Asians undergoing total ankle arthroplasty. This study reports the functional, radiological outcomes and satisfaction rates in our Asian population. Methods. Patients who underwent primary total ankle arthroplasty from 2007 to 2013 were recruited. Outcomes evaluated were the AOFAS Ankle-Hindfoot Score (AHS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the Short Form 36 (SF-36)questionnaire. Outcome scores were collected prospectively up to 2 years. Patient satisfaction was evaluated on a 6-point scale based on North American Spine Society Low Back Pain Instrument and classified as satisfied or unsatisfied. Results. Forty-one patients underwent primary total ankle arthroplasty. All patients experienced improvements in AHS, VAS, and Mental Component Summary score of the SF-36 at both 6-month and 2-year postoperative interval. The mean AHS score improved from 35 ± 19 points preoperatively to 64 ± 24 at 6 months (PLevels of Evidence: Therapeutic, Level II
