IMPLANT AND TOTAL ARTIFICIAL ANKLE REPLACEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a secure anchor to allow soft tissue to be positioned at an anatomically correct and/or desirable position with respect to the implant and a bone.SOLUTION: An implant comprises a body including an articulation surface and an opposed bone contact surface and defining a predetermined thickness therebetween. The body defines at least one anchor hole sized and configured to receive an anchor therethrough. The anchor is configured to couple soft tissue to the body. The anchors are coupled to soft tissue and passed through the at least one anchor hole to anchor the soft tissue to the body of the implant.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
