We present the functional and radiological results after implantation of thirty five uncemented Buechel Pappas total ankle replacements by an independent surgeon. All consecutive uncemented Buechel Pappas total ankle replacements were performed by the senior author (MSA) between 1990 and 2005. All ankle replacements were performed for @entity571 . The @entity1 were assessed clinically and radiologically. The average follow-up period is five years. Nine female @entity1 and 25 male @entity1 with an average age of 69(58-84) were enrolled. One @entity1 died before follow-up. Ninety seven percent of @entity1 were happy with their operation and ninety seven percent thought it was successful. Sixty six percent of @entity1 had no, or occasional @entity158 . All @entity1 were mobile and forty five percent of @entity1 required no walking aids. Only three percent of @entity1 required two walking aids. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Score was 73.3(54-100) at follow-up, compared to 34.6(20-56) pre-operatively (p < 0.001). One prosthesis was revised. Two fractured medial malleoli occurred and no deep @entity281 were noted. Buechel Pappas Uncemented Total Ankle replacement, performed by an independent surgeon, can give intermediate results comparable to data published by the designer. @entity1 selection is paramount. Our data compares well with results from other uncemented total ankle replacements.
