Total Ankle Arthroplasty With the Agility Prosthesis: Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation

Abstract

Agility total ankle arthroplasty results in a favorable clinical outcome and patient satisfaction in most patients at intermediate-term followup. However, total ankle arthroplasty is associated with potential complications and the need for subsequent operative intervention. Radiographic followup commonly reveals periprosthetic lucency, lysis, and component migration or subsidence, but this does not appear to adversely affect the intermediate-term clinical outcome. The long-term consequences of such radiographic findings are of concern, and surgeons and patients choosing this procedure need to be cautious.
