Ankle replacement is generally a very successful procedure with regard to alleviating pain and preserving motion at the ankle. Certainly there are risks to surgery any surgery. Risks of ankle replacement surgery include infection, numbness, blood clots, and the risk that implant may not adhere to the bone right away. Like all joint replacements implants, total ankle replacement prostheses can loosen over time. Follow-up with your doctor is important. HSS surgeons monitor progress feedback from patients and monitor their implants many years after the surgery with X-rays.

Steroids have long been used in the context of CSDH, and in 1974, it was summarised that steroids aid in the resolution of CSDH, supporting medical management rather than surgery in some cases [85]. Dexamethasone is a synthetic version of naturally occurring corticosteroid hormone and was first made in 1958 and heralded as a potent anti-inflammatory drug [86]. In 1976, Glover and Labadie reported that dexamethasone appeared to cause the formation of significantly smaller and lighter blood clots in CSDH, without the presence of a capsule [87]. They suggested that dexamethasone inhibited the inflammatory response and hence proper membrane development, the latter of which is essential as a source of continued haemorrhage for clot CSDH growth.

Guidelines exist to advise surgeons on how to prevent blood clots and infections for people having total hip and knee joint replacements (arthroplasty surgery). Adhering to these guidelines is associated with a reduced chance of people experiencing blood clots and infections. However, it is not known if guideline compliance affects outcomes reported by the person, including changes in pain, functioning, mobility, and quality of life. This study aimed to determine whether care that adheres to guidelines to prevent blood clots and infection improves the pain, function and quality of life outcomes reported by the person. We assessed the relationship between compliance to these guidelines and outcomes reported by patients in 1838 patients undergoing primary elective hip or knee joint replacement in Australia. When care does not adhere to guidelines to prevent blood clots, the scores on measures of pain and disability due to the operated joint and general quality of life are slightly, but not meaningfully, lower. Care that adheres to guidelines to prevent infection does not affect outcomes reported by the person. 2ff7e9595c
