Abstract

BACKGROUND: High physical demand and young age are currently considered contraindications for total ankle replacement. This study aimed to compare its results between patients under the age of 50 and those aged 50 or older. METHODS: 103 patients derived from an ongoing prospective multicentric study with a mean follow-up of 41 (range, 24-72) months were included in this study. Clinical status (AOFAS score), range of motion (ROM), complication and survivorship rates were compared between
