- Abstract
Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical functional results of patients who were operated with the diagnosis of ankle arthrosis with three different techniques. Methods: 49 cases who were operated between 2002 and 2013 were evaluated retrospectively. The patients who underwent arthrodesis with Ilizarov technique were evaluated as IABA group (n: 8). The patients who underwent arthrodesis with screws were evaluated as VABA group (n: 25). The patients who underwent arthrodesis with the calcaneotalotibial nail were evaluated as KABA group (n: 16). Duration of hospitalization, duration of surgery, complication rates, preoperative and postoperative visual analog scales (VAS), and postoperative Maryland foot scores were evaluated. Results: No significant difference was observed in the preoperative evaluation of VAS according to the groups (p= 0.452). It was observed that the VAS of the IABA group was significantly lower than the other two groups (p= 0.01). No significant difference was observed in Maryland foot score evaluation according to the groups (p= 0.145). More complication rates were observed in the IABA group compared to the other two groups. Less complication rates were observed in the KABA group compared to the other two groups (p= 0.004). Conclusion: It was observed that VAS was less in the IABA group compared to other groups, but the IABA group had higher complication rates. A lower complication rate was observed in the KABA group compared to the other other groups. There was no difference between the groups according to the Maryland foot score.
