Ankle Arthritis
• Ankle is more commonly injured than any other joint
in the body
• Subject to more WB force per cm2 than any other
joint
• Prevalence of ankle arthritis is 9 x’s lower than at
the hip or knee
• Trauma is the most common cause
• Ankle sprains, ankle fx, pilon fx …
Indications
• Arthrosis
• Pain
• Deformity
• Failed TAR
• Charcot ankle
• Degenerative Arthritis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Post Traumatic/
Acquired Deformity
• Instability from
Paralytic Disorders
• Neuropathic Joint
• Failed Total Ankle
Replacement
Goals
• To create a painless, stable, plantigrade foot
Surgical Considerations
• Minimal periosteal stripping
• Rigid internal fixation
• Screws
• Plates
• External fixation
• Attention to alignment and position
• Plantigrade foot
• 5-7 deg valgus
• Neutral to 5 degrees DF
• Rotation equal to other side
• Posterior displacement: anterior-anterior
Preoperative Planning
• R/O subtalar DJD
• May require CT scan
• May need combined fusion of both joints
Preoperative Planning
• R/O AVN talus
• May require MRI
• May require bone graft
• May require tibio-calcaneal fusion
Preoperative Planning
• R/O fixed equinus
• Achilles contracture
• TAL
• Gastroc recession
• Anterior osteophytes
• Excision of osteophytes
• +/- tendoachilles lengthening
Preoperative Planning
• Varus or Valgus deformity
• Plafond fracture
• Talar collapse
• Bone grafting
• Osteotomy
Problems
• Nonunion rate – 0 – 40%
• Initial pain relief can be elusive
• Functional limitations
• Uneven surfaces>stairs>objects from floor=driving
• Shoe modifications
• SACH heel/rocker-bottom sole
• Adjacent joint degeneration
• 50% arthroses within 7 yrs
Concepts
• Technical considerations
– In-situ fusion
• Usually no deformity
– Deformity-correcting fusion
Concepts
• Soft tissue considerations
– Avoid placing tension on
skin edges
– Utilize full-thickness flaps
– Cognizant of cutaneous
nerves
Surgical Principles
• Create broad, congruent cancellous surfaces
• Remove all cartilage
• Feather and penetrate into subchondral bone
• Use bone graft or substitutes to fill defects
• Stabilize w/ rigid fixation
• Appropriate alignment to create a plantigrade
foot
Complications
• Infections
– Careful soft tissue handling, removal of
devitalized tissue, prevention of hematoma
• Nerve disruption/entrapment
• Nonunion
– Prepare joint, adequate fixation
• Malalignment
Ankle Arthrodeses
• Open
• Mini-open
• Arthroscopic-
assisted
Ankle Fusions - Open
• Advantages
• Easier visualization
• Ability to address
deformity
• Better opposition of
joint surfaces
• Disadvantages
• More soft tissue
dissection
Open
• Lateral/Transfibular approach
• Never a TAR candidate
• Posterior
• Poor anterior or lateral skin
• Anterior
• All others
Open: Lateral
• Position: supine
• Incision
• 10cm prox to tip of
fibula  base of 4th MT
• Structure at risk
• Anterior branch sural n.
• Peroneals
Open: Lateral
• Full thickness flaps
• Periosteum of fibula stripped anteriorly and
posteriorly
• Protect peroneals
Open: Lateral
• Fibular osteotomy 2cm
proximal to level of joint
• Proximal-lateral
• Distal-medial
Open: Lateral
• Morcellize for bone
graft
• Use for lateral onlay
graft
Open: Lateral
• Remove
osteophytes
• Remove
cartilage and
subchondral
bone
• Feather
cancellous
surfaces
Open: Posterior
• Position: prone
• Incision
• 10-12cm from glabourous skin
• Structure at risk
• Sural n.
• Tibial n.
• Achilles
• FHL tendon
Open: Posterior
• Split Achilles
• Maintain full thickness
flaps
Open: Posterior
• Open deep posterior compartment
• Find FHL muscle belly
• Retract medially
Open: Posterior
• Enter joint
• Prepare joint
• Position and fixation
with screws
Open: Anterior
• Position: supine
• Incision
• 1 fingerbreadth lateral to ant tibial spine
• 10cm (2/3 prox, 1/3 distal)
• Structure at risk
• Medial branch SPN
• EHL, TA
Open: Anterior
• Find EHL distally and
remove from sheath
Open: Anterior
• Enter joint
• Prepare joint
• Position and fixation
with screws or plates
• Position: supine
• Extended scope portals
• Use lamina spreaders
• Debride joint
• Only do if no deformity
• Minimally invasive and
good results
Mini-Open
Mini-Open
Mini-Open
• Place laminar spreader in one wound and
prepare from the other
• Posterior 1/3 ankle difficult to visualize
• Prepare joint
• Position and fixation with screws
Mini-Open Results
• Early radiographic evidence on healing @ 6wks
Paremain, 1996.
• Clinical fusion = 100%
Ankle Fusions - Arthroscopic
• Advantages
• Minimal dissection
• Decreased wound
healing
• Minimal interference
with surrounding tissue
• Disadvantages
• Technically challenging
• Less optimal fusion
surface
• Inability to correct
deformity
Ankle Arthrodeses: SAA
• Indications
– Similar to open
– Minimal deformity of ankle
• Limited ability to correct varus/valgus tilt
Ankle Arthrodeses: SAA
• Prepare room for ankle arthroscopy
• Distract
• Non/invasive
• Aggressive shaver for anterior synovectomy
Surgical Armamentarium
• Small joint arthroscope 2.7 30 degree
• Currette small joint (need long narrow shaft and
curved if available)
• Large joint shaver
• 4.0 round burr
• 5.5 shaver aggressive
• Yankauer suction tip
• Noninvasive ankle distractor
Ankle Arthrodeses: SAA
• Residual cartilage
removed
• Shaver/currettes
• Burr used to make
pockmarks
• Fluid on/off
Ankle Arthrodeses: SAA
• Average 2.5 hours Ogilvie-Harris ,1993
• Complication rate 9.8% Ferkel, 1993
• 50% nerve injury
• Union rate of 100% Myerson, 1989
• 34/35 overall fusion rate Ferkel, 2005
• 31/35 solid fusion arthroscopically Jerosch ,2005
Ankle Arthrodeses: Open vs.
SAA
• SAA
– Less morbidity
– Decreased time to fusion
• 4 – 8 wks less
• Open
– Can address deformities
Ankle Arthrodeses: Open
• Alignment & fixation
• Ant aspect of talus aligns ant cortex of tibia
• Screws
• W/in sinus tarsi, above lat process
• Aim screws medially & as proximal as possible
• Ensure all threads are in proximal piece
Fixation Options
• Screws
• Size
• Large: 6.5, 7.0, 7.3
• Cannulated vs solid
• Orientation
Ankle Fusions - Internal
Fixation Options
• 2 Parallel Screws - optimal compression
• 2 Crossed Screws - optimal stability
• 2 Parallel and one Cross Screw
• 2 Parallel and one P-A screw
Ankle Arthrodeses: Open
Open: Lateral
Fixation Options
• Plates
• Anterior
• Solid arthrodesis 12 weeks (no BG), 14 wks
(BG)
• AOFAS from 37 to 68.
• 93% were satisfied. No complications .
• CONCLUSION: The anterior double plating
system: Reliable method to achieve solid
tibiotalar arthrodesis, even with loss of bone ,
e.g. failed TAA
Anterior double plating for rigid fixation of isolated tibiotalar
arthrodesis.

  • 17. Open • Lateral/Transfibular approach • Never a TAR candidate • Posterior • Poor anterior or lateral skin • Anterior • All others
  • 18. Open: Lateral • Position: supine • Incision • 10cm prox to tip of fibula  base of 4th MT • Structure at risk • Anterior branch sural n. • Peroneals
  • 19. Open: Lateral • Full thickness flaps • Periosteum of fibula stripped anteriorly and posteriorly • Protect peroneals
  • 20. Open: Lateral • Fibular osteotomy 2cm proximal to level of joint • Proximal-lateral • Distal-medial
  • 21. Open: Lateral • Morcellize for bone graft • Use for lateral onlay graft
  • 22. Open: Lateral • Remove osteophytes • Remove cartilage and subchondral bone • Feather cancellous surfaces
  • 23. Open: Posterior • Position: prone • Incision • 10-12cm from glabourous skin • Structure at risk • Sural n. • Tibial n. • Achilles • FHL tendon
  • 24. Open: Posterior • Split Achilles • Maintain full thickness flaps
  • 25. Open: Posterior • Open deep posterior compartment • Find FHL muscle belly • Retract medially
  • 26. Open: Posterior • Enter joint • Prepare joint • Position and fixation with screws
  • 27. Open: Anterior • Position: supine • Incision • 1 fingerbreadth lateral to ant tibial spine • 10cm (2/3 prox, 1/3 distal) • Structure at risk • Medial branch SPN • EHL, TA
  • 28. Open: Anterior • Find EHL distally and remove from sheath
  • 29. Open: Anterior • Enter joint • Prepare joint • Position and fixation with screws or plates
  • 30. • Position: supine • Extended scope portals • Use lamina spreaders • Debride joint • Only do if no deformity • Minimally invasive and good results Mini-Open
  • 32. Mini-Open • Place laminar spreader in one wound and prepare from the other • Posterior 1/3 ankle difficult to visualize • Prepare joint • Position and fixation with screws
  • 33. Mini-Open Results • Early radiographic evidence on healing @ 6wks Paremain, 1996. • Clinical fusion = 100%
  • 34. Ankle Fusions - Arthroscopic • Advantages • Minimal dissection • Decreased wound healing • Minimal interference with surrounding tissue • Disadvantages • Technically challenging • Less optimal fusion surface • Inability to correct deformity
  • 35. Ankle Arthrodeses: SAA • Indications – Similar to open – Minimal deformity of ankle • Limited ability to correct varus/valgus tilt
  • 36. Ankle Arthrodeses: SAA • Prepare room for ankle arthroscopy • Distract • Non/invasive • Aggressive shaver for anterior synovectomy
