FAI April 2026 Podcast: 1,121 Salto Talaris Total Ankle Arthroplasties by a Single Surgeon: Mid-Term Survivorship, Complications, and Patient-Reported Outcomes
Monday, 13 April, 2026
Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is increasingly used as a motion-preserving alternative to ankle arthrodesis for end-stage ankle disease. The Salto Talaris fixed-bearing prosthesis was designed to enhance joint kinematics while minimizing bone resection and reducing complications seen in earlier implant generations. This study reports midterm clinical outcomes, including survivorship, complications, reoperation and failure rates in a large, single-surgeon cohort. In conclusion, in this large cohort, the Salto Talaris TAA was associated with improvements in patient-reported quality of life, activity, and pain, and showed high survivorship with relatively low failure (5.4%) and reoperation (12.0%) rates at an average of 5.5 years after index surgery.
