Are There Differences in Ankle Mechanics After Total Ankle Arthroplasty in Patients Suffering From Post-fracture vs Post-sprain End-Stage Ankle Osteoarthritis?
This study suggests that patients sustaining PFOA have smaller pre- to postoperative gains in ankle (Shank-Calcaneus) joint power and ankle (Shank-Calcaneus) joint work during gait after TAA compared with patients sustaining PSOA, with modest between-group effects. Although evidence in TAA is lacking, insights from knee replacement suggest prehabilitation and nutritional support may mitigate deficits, representing a potentially essential strategy for PFOA patients requiring further validation.
