Early Periprosthetic Tibial Lucency Following Low-Profile Total Ankle Arthroplasty
At 1 year after anterior approach low-profile TAA, we found a 6.5% incidence of global lucency around the tibial component, suggestive of lack of osseous integration of the prosthesis. Fifty-eight percent of patients with global lucency did not require revision and were doing well clinically at early follow-up. Higher postoperative coronal tibiotalar offset, use of the Vantage implant, and male sex were all significantly associated with development of global lucency.
