Prior literature has demonstrated that ipsilateral hindfoot arthrodesis may increase the risk for reoperation after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and that simultaneous hindfoot arthrodesis with TAA could result in short-term clinical and radiologic improvements. The purpose of this study is to compare the reoperation rates after TAA with prior hindfoot arthrodesis vs simultaneous arthrodesis and TAA.
