title: Gutter Impingement in Total Ankle Arthroplasty.
abstract: Gutter pain and impingement are recognized entities following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). However, little concrete information is available in the existing literature regarding the etiology, potentiating factors, treatment and prevention of gutter disease. This comprehensive monograph discusses this problem in expansive detail and provides insight to surgeons who perform TAA, such that these complications can be minimized in the future.
