Abstract
Background:
As the number of total ankle arthroplasties (TAAs) performed annually increases, there is increased demand for modular revision implants. There is limited early survivorship and clinical outcome data for the INVISION Total Ankle Arthroplasty System (Wright Medical Technology/Stryker). This study aims to determine early implant survivorship, complications, and radiographic and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of the INVISION implant in the revision setting.
Methods:
This is a single-institution retrospective review of adult patients who underwent revision TAA with the INVISION implant with minimum 2-year follow-up. Demographics, complications, radiographic data, and PROs (PROMIS) were collected. The primary outcome was implant survivorship. Secondary outcomes were reoperation, radiographic complications, and PROs.
Results:
Nineteen patients underwent revision INVISION TAA with mean follow-up of 3.5 years. INVISION revision TAA was used for tibial (n = 6) or talar (n = 7) component subsidence, recurrent tibiotalar malalignment (valgus = 1, varus = 3), and postinfection bone loss (n = 2). Two-year implant survivorship was 100%. There were no reoperations. One patient had lucency of the talar component at 6 months post TAA revision with INVISION. One patient had talar subsidence at final follow-up. Two-year postoperative follow-up PROMIS domains improved significantly (P < .05).
Conclusion:
There was excellent short-term survivorship of the INVISION TAA implant, with no failures. There were significant improvements in PROs and low rates of subsidence and lucencies. The results of this study support using the INVISION implant in the revision TAA setting.
Level of Evidence:
Level III, retrospective cohort.
