In vivo weight-bearing studies utilizing dynamic video fluoroscopy have been shown to offer an accurate and reproducible method for determining the kinematics of a joint. The purpose of this study was to evaluate translational and rotational motions of the distal tibia relative to the talus in the sagittal and frontal planes. Ten subjects, each having a normal ankle and a total ankle arthroplasty on the opposite side (Buechel-Pappas Total Ankle, Endotec, South Orange, NJ), were studied under in vivo, weight-bearing conditions using video fluoroscopy. All ten subjects were judged to have a successful arthroplasty without demonstrable pain or ligament instability. Under weight-bearing conditions, each subject performed successive motions moving from maximum dorsiflexion to plantarflexion. At maximum dorsiflexion, both the normal and implanted ankles had similar sagittal midline talar contact positions but with plantar flexion, implanted ankles had increased posterior talar contact. Contact points on the distal tibia revealed that the lateral surface contacted at the midline or posterior throughout range-of-motion with minimal translation. The medial distal tibia contacted the talus posterior on plantarflexion and often moved anteriorly with dorsiflexion. This translation described relative external rotation of the distal tibia on plantar flexion and internal rotation on dorsiflexion. The measured distances were larger for the implanted ankles with higher variability. The average range-of-motion was 37.4 degrees for normal ankles and 32.3 degrees for implanted ankles. This study defines the normal kinematic rotational and translational motions of the ankle joint by accurately describing the three dimensional joint orientations. The implanted ankles experienced rotational and translational motions but had contacts more posterior, possibly related to surgical technique or alterations of ligamentous tension.
