| Popis: | Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: Bone strength about the components is an important factor in Arthroplasty survival. This importance has been studied in total hip & knee replacement. However, there is paucity of literature Where little has been published regarding the quality of the bone and bone mineral content postoperatively surrounding Ankle Arthroplasty and circumstances surrounding the development of stress fracture. This prospective study used a method to quantify Bone Mineral Density BMD in different regions of the surrounding bones adjacent to tibia and talar components of uncemented Mobility ankle prosthesis, and to study the effect of loading on local ankle bone in the presence of un-cemented three components ankle replacement, by analyzing the BMD of the areas around tibia and talus before and after Mobility total ankle replacement. Methods: Twenty three Ankles (7Females, 15 Males) who underwent a Mobility Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA) between March 2008 and April 2009 were included prospectively in this study. They underwent a Bone Density Scan using the DEXA HOLIGIC Scanner with the specific method designed for measuring BMD. Seven areas (R1-R7) around the prosthesis were studied (Please see attached figure). Scans were carried out pre-operatively and repeated at 1 and 2 years post-operatively. The results were also compared with clinical outcomes, using (AOFAS scores) both pre, 1 and 2 years post-op. Results: Mean age of patients was 63.3 years (SD 9, range 43 to 80). AOFAS scores showed significant improvement (from 28.8 pre-op to 78.7,76.9 at 12 and 24 months post-op respectively; p |
