Management of Periprosthetic Cystic Changes After Total Ankle Replacement

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Primary and Revision Total Ankle Replacement

Abstract

Total ankle replacement (TAR) was developed in the 1970s as an alternative to arthrodesis in selected patients. It is a challenging procedure in the treatment of osteoarthritis. However, some previous studies have shown a high percentage of rapidly progressing osteolysis associated with TAR. The cause of these cysts remains unclear. Diagnosis requires rigorous assessment and regular follow-up. Depending on the cystic changes, different therapeutic options are available including cyst curettage–bone grafting, revision arthroplasty, or arthrodesis.
