| Core Tip |
This study provides a multidimensional evaluation of the learning curve in lateral-approach total ankle replacement using the Zimmer™ system. Significant improvements in pain and function were observed, as measured by patient-reported outcome measures - the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire and the European Foot and Ankle Society score - and remained consistent from the earliest cases, indicating early stabilization of outcomes. Operative time and complication rates improved with surgical experience, plateauing after approximately 25-30 cases. A simultaneous anteromedial approach during the primary procedure may help reduce the need for secondary interventions. Most infection-related complications occurred in rheumatoid arthritis patients, underscoring the importance of careful preoperative optimization. |
