There will be periankle joints ar throsis as time passes. Tatal ankle replacement per mits remobilization, no need for prolonged immohilization.

Total ankle replacement. has been proposed as an alternative to arthrodesis in the management of painful arthrosis of the tibiotalar joint recently. We performed 7 cases of replacement from 1990. 4. 1 to 1996. 7. 1 with 2-3 years follow up. A retrospective review was undertaken for 7 patients with the arthrosis of tibiotalar joint.The results were as following. 1. The clinical results according to the point system for ankle study evaluation were excellent in 2 cases, good in 4 cases, and fair 1 case. 2.
