Abstract

With total ankle arthroplasty, documented complications can be categorized chronologically into intraoperative, postoperative, and late complications. Factors such as patient selection, surgeon experience, implant features, and prosthetic device selection can influence functional outcomes as well as incidence of complications. Even with impeccable surgical technique and optimal patient selection, complications that require revision may still arise and the most common complications with revision solutions are discussed in this article.
