Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is an alternative to arthrodesis, especially for elderly patients with end-stage arthritis and normal ankle and hindfoot alignment. According to the paper by Deorio et al, the indications for TAA include primarily posttraumatic and inflammatory arthritis. Contraindications to TAA include unresectable osteonecrotic bone, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, neuropathic joint disease (Charcot arthropathy), ankle infection, severe joint laxity, nonreconstructible ankle ligaments, loss of lower leg muscular control, and severe osteopenia or osteoporosis
