Abstract
Gutter impingement is one of the most common causes of subsequent surgery after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Although gutter debridement has been reported to resolve preoperative symptoms early on, persistent pain after surgery, recurrence, and poor functional outcome scores have been described in patients who have undergone reoperation for gutter debridement. The cause of gutter impingement after TAA is multifactorial, and a better understanding of its causes and optimal surgical techniques for intervention is needed.
