Clinical and radiological follow-up after total ankle replacement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational study collecting clinical and radiographic outcomes from patients who underwent third‑generation total ankle replacement performed by non‑designer surgeons. Clinical function and pain are measured before and after surgery using the AOFAS score, the Foot Function Index, and a visual analogue scale for pain, with at least 12 months of follow‑up. Weightbearing AP and lateral ankle radiographs are collected preoperatively and at last follow‑up and are independently reviewed by an orthopedic surgeon. The design aims to provide independent, real‑world outcome data outside of implant‑designer centers.
