Table 3 Radiographic outcomes of men and women groups

From: Does gender influence the outcomes of total ankle arthroplasty in patients with ankle osteoarthritis?

 

Men (N = 109 ankles)

Women (N = 86 ankles)

p value*

Tibiotalar angle (°)†

 Preoperative

8.5 ± 6.6 (− 31.1 to 19.8)

11.0 ± 6.8 (− 32.0 to 18.4)

0.020

 Final follow-up

3.6 ± 2.1 (− 10.2 to 3.2)

4.0 ± 2.2 (− 10.4 to 3.5)

0.226

 Improvement‡

4.9 ± 6.3 (− 4.9 to 24.8)

7.5 ± 6.5 (− 4.2 to 26.8)

0.014

  1. *The independent t test was used to analyze age differences in tibiotalar angle. A p value of < 0.05 was considered significant
  2. †The values are given as the mean ± standard deviation, with the range in parentheses. To reduce errors in the mean calculation due to positive (valgus) and negative (varus) values, these values are calculated as absolute values
  3. ‡The improvement is given as the mean difference (preoperative minus final)
