Ankle replacement surgery, while not a new procedure, has picked up attention more in the past ten years as technology and prosthetics have advanced. Unfortunately, a TAR still does not have as good outcomes as a total hip or knee replacement, which are more commonly performed and studied. Overall, patients report approximately 94% satisfaction for the first four years after surgery, decreasing to about 84% after ten years. The most-reported problem is the loosening of the prosthetic, and an estimated 33% of patients will need revision surgery within ten years of their first.
