Abstract

As current generation total ankle replacements continue to gain popularity, implants are undergoing continual modifications to increase prosthetic longevity, improve wound healing, and restore anatomic joint range of motion and kinematics. In an attempt to address these challenges, the Zimmer Trabecular Metal total ankle system was designed. Unique in its lateral surgical approach, its arched prosthetic design, and its blend of metals, this total ankle system provides surgeons with a novel total ankle replacement system to treat end-stage ankle arthritis.
