  • Long term consequences of Total Ankle Replacement versus Ankle Fusion; a 25 year national population study of 41,000 patients

    Posted on: 01 April, 2025

    Definitive and successful treatment of end stage ankle arthritis is either Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) or Ankle Fusion (AF). Both options place patients on an irreversible pathway that risks harm from further surgery.
