Abstract

Recommendation:

Predictors for treatment failure in patients undergoing 2-stage exchange for infected total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) include compromised soft tissues (eg, sinus tract and exposed hardware), significant bone involvement/osteomyelitis, and insufficient timing of antibiotic course before reimplantation.

Level of Evidence:

Moderate.

Delegate Vote:

Agree: 100%, Disagree: 0%, Abstain: 0% (Unanimous, Strongest Consensus).
