Prevalence and Associated Factors of Ankle Osteoarthritis in Achondroplasia: A Retrospective Radiographic Assessment of 134 Patients
The prevalence of ankle osteoarthritis in achondroplasia is moderate, but the progression to advanced stages is uncommon. Ankle osteoarthritis in achondroplasia is strongly associated with increased talar tilt angle. This finding emphasizes caution regarding ankle osteoarthritis in achondroplasia with a nonparallel tibiotalar articular surface. Clinicians should, therefore, consider regularly assessing the talar tilt angle in patients with achondroplasia.
