Total ankle replacement versus ankle fusion for end-stage ankle arthritis: A meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: Currently available evidence suggests no significant disparity in postoperative outcomes between TAR and AF. In the short term, TAR demonstrates better clinical scores than AF and lower complication rates. Conversely, in the long term, AF exhibits superior clinical scores and lower complication rates, although this difference is not statistically significant.PMID:38607239 | DOI:10.1177/10225536241244825
