| Sumario: | Abstract. Introduction Total ankle replacement is definitely a tough issue for both orthopedic surgeons treating patients with ankle pathology and
engineers who develop optimal implant constructs. Extreme short-time kinetic loads, complex motion biomechanics, anatomic features of the ankle
result in high demands for ankle joint implants. In general, there is a positive tendency in an annual increase of the number of total ankle replacements.
Alongside, a significant lagging in performing this procedure and the tendency for ankle arthrodesis has been observed in Russia. Aim To review the
literature data about development and current status of total ankle replacement. To evaluate the use of modern implants for distal tibia replacement.
Material and methods The given literature review includes analysis of foreign and domestic publications focused on issues of treatment of osteoarthritis
of the ankle joint and tumors of the distal tibia. The information was searched for using GoogleScholar, PubMed, eLIBRARY, PubMedCentral in the
Russian and English languages with the following keywords: total ankle replacement, ankle arthrodesis, ankle osteoarthritis, distal tibia replacement.
Discussion Currently, there are controversies in selection of biomaterials and constructive parameters for ankle implants. Separately, there is an
unsolved issue of selecting the optimal friction pair for bearing surfaces, as well as of operative technique features, such as implant fixation, surgical
approach, modeling and restoration of the capsular-ligamentous complex. Conclusion Total ankle replacement is an effective alternative procedure to
ankle arthrodesis and limb-sacrificing operations. To improve treatment results, optimal implant construction, fixation methods, selecting appropriate
friction pair and capsular-ligamentous complex restoration should be further investigated in complex studies. |
