Abstract
Total ankle replacement is becoming a more popular option in the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis. Appropriate imaging plays an important role in surgical planning, considering the overall foot alignment for optimal outcomes after surgery. Preoperative imaging includes weightbearing views of the foot and ankle, as well as an adjunct computed tomography scan. Imaging the painful ankle postsurgery often involves multiple modalities to define the underlying pathology and determine the appropriate management. Suggested imaging sequences are discussed.
