Total ankle replacement in patients under the age of 50. Should the indications be revised?
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundHigh physical demand and young age are currently considered contraindications for total ankle replacement. This study aimed to compare its results between patients under the age of 50 and those aged 50 or older.Methods103 patients derived from an ongoing prospective multicentric study with a mean follow-up of 41 (range, 24–72) months were included in this study. Clinical status (AOFAS score), range of motion (ROM), complication and survivorship rates were compared between <50 and ≥50 patients.ResultsROM and AOFAS score were significantly higher, as were their increases relatively to pre-operative values in patients <50. Complication and survivorship rates were comparable between both groups.ConclusionsAt medium-term, ankle replacement is at least as effective in patients under the age of 50 as in those with aged 50 or older. Long-term results will allow to assess whether surgical indications for should be revised.
