Abstract: | BackgroundOver the last twenty years, minimally invasive ankle arthrodesis has evolved into a well-tolerated and safe procedure. It has grown in favor to open ankle arthrodesis due to shorter length of stay and fewer complications recorded. This paper aims to compare the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic vs open ankle arthrodesis at 24-months followup.MethodsFrom 2004 to 2015, we reviewed a prospectively collected database in a tertiary hospital foot and ankle registry. 28 feet that underwent arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis were matched to 56 feet that underwent open ankle arthrodesis for age, sex and body mass index (BMI). Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-hindfoot Scores and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were obtained to assess clinical outcomes. These parameters were collected before surgery, at 6 months and 24 months after surgery.ResultsThe arthroscopic group demonstrated significant less pain in the perioperative period (arthroscopic: 1.9 ± 1.2, open: 3.8 ± 1.1, p < 0.001) and shorter length of hospitalization stay (arthroscopic: 2.1 ± 0.7 open: 3.5 ± 1.7, p < 0.001). Patients who underwent arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis also reported a higher SF-36 score on physical functioning at 6 months (arthroscopic: 58.4 ± 27.1, open: 47.1 ± 24.0, p < 0.05) and higher AOFAS Ankle-hindfoot Scale score at 24-months (arthroscopic: 78.9 ± 18.9, open: 68.9 ± 24.7, p < 0.05). There were no postoperative complications in the arthroscopic group but 11 in the open group, including 9 which required followup operations. There was no significant difference in length of operative procedure between both groups.ConclusionsWe conclude that the arthroscopic group displayed better clinical outcomes compared to the open group at the 24 months followup. The advantages of arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis include significantly less perioperative pain, higher AOFAS Ankle-hindfoot scores at 24 months, shorter length of stay, fewer postoperative complications and followup operations.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective comparative series. |
