Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Mobile-bearing total ankle arthroplasty designs are not FDA-approved, limiting US experience. This review examines mobile-bearing designs and their outcomes, primarily from European and Canadian research.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Arthroplasty design

Background:

  • Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) utilizes mobile-bearing and constrained designs.
  • Mobile-bearing TAA designs lack US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
  • Significant TAA experience and design innovation exist in Canada and Europe.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the design characteristics of various mobile-bearing total ankle replacements.
  • To review existing outcome research for mobile-bearing TAA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature focusing on mobile-bearing TAA designs.
  • Analysis of outcome data from studies conducted primarily outside the United States.
  • Comparison of design features across different mobile-bearing TAA systems.

Main Results:

  • Mobile-bearing TAA designs differ in their articulation and fixation methods.
  • Outcome data for mobile-bearing TAA is predominantly from European and Canadian centers.
  • Hydroxyapatite coatings, common in Europe, are not standard in US TAA procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding mobile-bearing TAA design variations is crucial for interpreting outcome data.
  • Further research is needed to evaluate mobile-bearing TAA in the US context.
  • International experience provides valuable insights into mobile-bearing TAA performance.
