Newer designs and techniques of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) have challenged the assumption of ankle arthrodesis (AA) as the primary treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. The objective of this study was to compare physical and mental function, ankle-specific function, pain intensity, and rates of revision surgery and minor complications between these 2 procedures and to explore heterogeneous treatment effects due to age, body mass index (BMI), patient sex, comorbidities, and employment on patients treated by 1 of these 2 methods.
