Abstract

The number of patients with osteoarthritis of the ankle, which are treated by arthroplasty, has continuously increased in recent years. The survival time of these implants is far below the results following hip and knee arthroplasty. In some cases a failure rate of approximately 1% per year or a survival rate of 70% after 10 years has been reported. The most frequent reasons for revision of an ankle prosthesis are aseptic loosening, technical implantation errors and persisting pain. For the revision of an ankle prosthesis there are basically two treatment options. For a long time, ankle arthrodesis was considered the gold standard after a failed prosthesis. In recent years, there has been an increasing trend towards re-implantation of an ankle prosthesis, as this preserves the functionality and mobility of the ankle joint as far as possible. Depending on the reason for failure and the size of the bony defect, a decision must be made regarding a one-stage and a two-stage procedure with bone augmentation. This article presents the advantages and disadvantages of arthrodesis and revision arthroplasty after failed primary ankle arthroplasty and highlights the special features of surgery.
