Brief Summary: About 500 total ankle prostheses are implanted each year in France. Wound healing issues are the most common complications after Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA). In 2010, a French retrospective study observed a wound infection rate of 8% among 592 prostheses implanted. Wound infection rate can vary up to 28% from the data available in the literature. Delayed wound healing is a known risk factor of surgical site infection (SSI). Even if it remains a rare event, its consequences for the patient can be severe and lead to removal and/or replacement of the prosthesis, arthrodesis, or transtibial amputation.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is an adjuvant therapy for wound management and healing: it delivers a controlled negative pressure (sub-atmospheric) applied topically onto the wound from a vacuum pump. The wound is filled with wound filler and sealed with an airtight adhesive drape. It allows creating a moist wound environment, removing exudate, and reducing edema and risk of infection.

Incisional NPWT can accelerate wound healing regardless of the surgery performed, including orthopedics. A retrospective study compared the incidence of healing complications after TAA between the administration of the NPWT PICO™ (Smith\&Nephew) and the standard of care of postoperative wounds in 74 patients. A significant reduction of wound healing issues (3% vs. 24%, respectively; p=0.004) and a non-significant reduction of SSI (3% vs. 8%, respectively) were observed.

To the investigator knowledge, no randomized study has been conducted to assess the efficacy of the NPWT PICO™ for postoperative wound healing after TAA: Investigators propose to set up this study to obtain a high level of evidence in this population and investigators assume that the use of the PICO™ system after TAA would reduce delayed wound healing compared to the standard of care with conventional dressings.
