Over the last decades, total ankle replacement (TAR) emerged as a reliable treatment option in end-stage ankle osteoarthritis (OA) while preserving motion and physiological load. The Cadence™ is a fourth-generation, two-component, fixed-bearing implant with minimal tibial and talar resection. It has been in clinical use since July 2016, the purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome and radiological outcomes of total ankle arthroplasty with use of the Cadence™ prosthesis at St. Michael's Hospital.
