Intermediate to long-term clinical outcomes and survival analysis of the Salto Mobile Bearing total ankle prothesis.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionOsteoarthritis of the ankle is a major burden to affected patients. While tibio-talar arthrodesis has been the gold-standard regarding the treatment of osteoarthritis of the ankle joint for many years, at present total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) provides appealing clinical outcomes and is continually gaining popularity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intermediate- to long-term clinical outcome including the survival rate of Salto Mobile Bearing TAA (Tonier SA, Saint Ismier, France). MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this retrospective study intermediate- to long-term outcomes measures [Ankle Range of Motion (ROM), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS score) and survival rate] of 171 consecutive TAA were analysed and compared before and after surgery. Revision was defined as secondary surgery with prothesis component removal, while reoperation was defined as a non-revisional secondary surgery involving the ankle.
resultsAt a mean follow-up (FU) period of 7.2 ± 2.7 years (range 2.0 to 14.1 years) there was a significant improvement in ankle ROM (total ROM improved from 25.0° ± 15.0° to 28.7° ± 11.3°, p = 0.015; plantarflexion improved from 18.4° ± 11.7° to 20.6° ± 8.2°, p = 0.044; dorsiflexion improved from 6.6° ± 5.7° to 8.1° ± 4.9°, p = 0.011). AOFAS score increased significantly by 41 ± 15 points after surgery (43.3 ± 11.1 before and 84.3 ± 12.0 after surgery, p < 0.001). Overall survival rate within the FU was 81.3% (95% CI 75.3% to 87.3%) with any secondary surgery, 89.9% (95% CI 84.1% to 93.6%) with revision and 93.6% (95% CI 89.8% to 97.3%) with reoperation as endpoint.
conclusionThis study endorses the previously reported appealing intermediate- to long-term outcomes of the Salto Mobile Bearing TAA. There was a significant increase in ROM and AOFAS score as well as decent implant survival at final FU.
