Description: In an investigation called "revolutionary" by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Immediate Past President Robert B. Anderson, MD, researchers found better function with total ankle replacement compared to ankle fusion in a 2-year prospective controlled trial using an uncemented, mobile-bearing total ankle device.
Prospective study of a TAR device also finds more complications following the procedure.
