AB  - BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to establish the likelihood of additional 
      surgery after ankle fusion, determine the interval for developing osteoarthrosis 
      in the ipsilateral subtalar or Chopart joints, and evaluate its clinical 
      relevance. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective clinical and radiological study 
      with a minimum follow-up of 24 months was performed. Short-Form 36 Heath Survey, 
      Foot Function Index, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS) 
      and a visual analog scale (VAS) were used to evaluate pain level and quality of 
      life in at least 62 adult patients. RESULTS: A total of 57% of our patients 
      developed osteoarthrosis in at least one of the related joints and 28% of them 
      required additional surgery due to pain. Patients who received workers' 
      compensation had significantly lower AOFAS and higher VAS pain values. 
      CONCLUSION: More than half of the study cohort developed osteoarthrosis in the 
      related joints after ankle fusion, but fewer than one-third required further 
      joint fusion surgery as a consequence.
