| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The current study presents our experience with conversion of failed TAA to fusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of all failed total ankles converted to fusion from 1999 to 2009 was performed at our institution. RESULTS: Twelve total ankles were converted to isolated ankle fusions (Group I) and 12 converted to ankle-hindfoot fusions (Group II). All isolated ankle fusions were stabilized with anterior plate and screws with one nonunion. Structural bone graft was used in ten of 12. Mean outcome scores using the AOFAS-Ankle/Hindfoot score and Maryland Foot Score improved from preoperative values of 43 ± 13 and 56.7 ± 14 to 67 ± 12 and 71.2 ± 16 postoperatively, respectively (p < 0.05). All Group II ankle-hindfoot fusion patients were fixed using either anterior plate and screws, intramedullary nail, or a combination nail:plate construct. All received structural allografts. Five patients developed nonunion including four subtalar nonunions Preoperative scores on the AOFAS-AHS and MFS were 48.8 ± 14 and 58.3 ± 14. Postoperative scores were 51.2 ± 17 for the AOFAS and 64.5 ± 14 for the MFS. These changes were not statistically significant. However, the difference in nonunions was significant, p < 0.05. CONCLUSION: Failed total ankles can be successfully converted to fusion using structural bone graft and internal fixation. The primary risk appears to be nonunion of the subtalar joint when ankle-hindfoot fusion is required. We believe this risk can be decreased by using a separate approach for preparation of the subtalar joint. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
