Patients are numbered by order of date of surgery; when survivorship was calculated with end point any reoperation on the ankle, all the patients whose data are included in this table were considered to have failed results; when survivorship was calculated with end point fusion or revision of any component, only patients whose data are indicated by ‡ were considered to have failed results; *patient lost to followup in the initial study [4]; †radiolucencies found in the medial tibia, but good fixation was observed at time of surgery; TAA = total ankle arthroplasty; AOFAS = American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society; M = male; F = female; OA = osteoarthritis; PT = osteoarthritis, posttraumatic; RA = rheumatoid arthritis; L = osteoarthritis secondary to chronic laxity/instability.
