Total Ankle Replacement Compatible with Ligament Function Produces Mobility Good Clinical Scores and Low Complication Rates: An Early Clinical Assessment

摘要

BackgroundA three-part ankle replacement was developed to achieve compatibility with the natural ligaments by allowing fibers on the medial and lateral sides to remain isometric during passive motion. Unlike all current prostheses, the new design uses nonanatomically shaped components on the tibia and talus and a fully conforming interposed meniscal bearing.
