Abstract:
: Surgical treatment of post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis was mainly based on arthrodesis. Currently, ankle arthroplasty has become a reliable alternative with the development of new prostheses. However, total ankle prosthesis cannot be offered to all patients and it is often a source of complications in the medium and long term. Ankle arthrodesis is the treatment of choice for loosening of the prosthesis. It is necessary to associate it with a bone graft in order to fill the loss of substance left after removal of the prosthesis and thus allow consolidation with fixation of the joint. We report the case of an ankle arthrodesis associated with a bone graft indicated in the face of loosening of a total ankle prosthesis.
