The Value of Ankle Prostheses — A Gait Analysis Approach

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The major causes of ankle arthrosis are ankle fractures and rheumatoid arthritis. The incidence of post-traumatic arthrosis within 18 months after an ankle fracture ranges from 10% to 85%, depending on the amount of post-treatment fracture reduction (Geissler 1996). More than 90% of all rheumatoid arthritis patients between 40 years and 60 years of age have foot and ankle manifestations (Scardina 1997).
