Abstract
When total ankle arthroplasty fails, few good options are available for salvage. We report a case of total ankle arthroplasty displacement after trauma. The injury was initially repaired with an anterior ankle arthrodesis plate for ankle fusion. On the follow-up radiographs taken during the fourth postoperative week, internal fixation failure was noted. A second revision was undertaken, using a femoral locking plate to obtain tibiotalocalcaneal fusion. We present this case as an alternative method for developing a stable construct in revising total ankle take down.
