Abstract
Although a variety of surgical techniques are available for the surgical treatment of early degenerative disease of the ankle, arthrodesis remains the preferred treatment for severe cases. We studied 126 ankles with an average follow up of 39 months of whom 25 with early disease underwent debridement and cheilectomy, 18 with intermediate disease underwent lower tibial osteotomy and 83 with severe disease underwent either arthrodesis (78) or total ankle replacement (5). In 96% of cases there was a satisfactory functional outcome.
