Popis: Category: Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Total ankle replacement (TAR) is performed for post-traumatic arthritis, inflammatory arthropathy, osteoarthritis and other indications. The Scottish Arthroplasty Project (SAP) began collection of data on TAR in 1997. In this study, using data from the SAP, we look at trends in the use and outcomes of TAR in Scotland. Methods: We identified 499 patients from the SAP who underwent TAR between 1997 and 2015 with imaging available on the National Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). We identified, and looked at trends in, implant type over the following time periods: 1998-2005; 2006-2010 and 2011-2015. Age, gender, indication and outcomes for each time period were examined and also trends with implant type over time. Results: There were 499 primary TAR procedures with an overall incidence of 0.5/105 population per year. The peak incidence of TAR was in the 6th decade. The mean age of patients undergoing TAR from 59 years in 1998-2005, to 65 years in 2011-15 (p
