Abstract
For several years, the surgical treatment of post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the ankle was essentially based on arthrodesis. Currently, ankle arthroplasty has become a reliable alternative with the development of new prostheses. However, the total ankle prosthesis cannot be offered to all patients and it is often a source of medium and long-term complications. The management of these complications, in particular that of the loosening of the prosthesis, is generally done by a definitive treatment by arthrodesis after removal of the prosthesis. It is necessary to combine it with a bone graft in order to fill the gaps left after the removal of the prosthesis and thus allow consolidation with fixation of the joint.
