Ankle arthrodesis (AA) and replacement (TAA) are widely accepted options in managing end-stage ankle arthritis (ESAA). We hypothesize that clinical outcomes would be similar for both interventions.
We conducted a multicenter randomized controlled trial that collected data on patient demographics, complication rates, Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) scores. We evaluated pre and postoperative scores within and between cohorts.
The thirty-nine ankles enrolled had a mean follow-up of 5.1 ± 2.8 years. Total AOS scores improved significantly in both groups; 59.4 ± 15.9 to 38 ± 20 (p-value = 0.002) for TAA and 64.6 ± 19.7 to 31.8 ± 16.5 (p-value < 0.001) for AA at last follow-up. Complication rate was higher in the AA cohort with four major complications (20%).
We observed a statistically significant benefit with TAA and AA. As a pilot trial, this study is meant to inform on design and feasibility of future RCTs.

踝关节融合术(AA)和置换术(TAA)是治疗终末期踝关节关节炎(ESAA)的广泛接受的选择。我们假设这两种干预措施的临床结果相似。
我们进行了一项多中心随机对照试验,收集了患者人口统计学、并发症发生率、踝关节骨关节炎量表(AOS)和 36 项简短健康调查问卷(SF-36)评分的数据。我们评估了队列内和队列间的术前和术后评分。
39 个踝关节的平均随访时间为 5.1 ± 2.8 年。两组的总 AOS 评分均显著改善;TAA 从 59.4 ± 15.9 分提高到 38 ± 20 分(p 值=0.002),AA 从 64.6 ± 19.7 分提高到 31.8 ± 16.5 分(p 值<0.001)。AA 组的并发症发生率较高,有 4 例严重并发症(20%)。
我们观察到 TAA 和 AA 有统计学上显著的益处。作为一项试点试验,本研究旨在为未来的 RCT 提供设计和可行性方面的信息。
