Total Ankle Arthroplasty Is Safer Than Total Hip And Knee Arthroplasty In The Early Postoperative Period

Total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) are performed more commonly than total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), so patients and the orthopaedic community are more familiar with the likelihood of complications after THA and TKA than after TAA. The present study places early complication rates after TAA in the context of those after THA and TKA.
