Excerpt

One option for patients with painful ankle fusions is total ankle replacement conversion. The current study by Preis and colleagues adds to our overall understanding of how these fusion conversions (sometimes called takedowns) work, and helps illuminate the benefits and pitfalls of this approach. The authors observed frequent (but generally not catastrophic) complications, and although the patients improved, the improvements were not as great as one might expect after primary ankle replacement. …
