Summary
The INBONE II Total Ankle System offers a revised talar component design for improved ankle replacement surgery. This review details the surgical technique and patient care for the INBONE II system.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- The INBONE II Total Ankle System features modular intramedullary stems and a novel sulcus-shaped talar component.
- This design differs from the original INBONE system's broad, saddle-shaped talar component.
- The INBONE II talar component includes two anterior pegs for enhanced fixation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive review of the surgical technique for implanting the INBONE II Total Ankle System.
- To offer perioperative insights into patient care associated with this total ankle arthroplasty device.
Main Methods:
- Detailed description of the surgical implantation procedure for the INBONE II system.
- Discussion of patient management strategies before, during, and after surgery.
Main Results:
- The INBONE II system utilizes a tibial tray engaging anterior and posterior tibial cortices.
- The modular stem and anterior pegs are key features of the talar component design.
- The article serves as a procedural guide for orthopedic surgeons.
Conclusions:
- The INBONE II Total Ankle System represents an evolution in ankle arthroplasty design.
- Understanding the surgical technique and perioperative care is crucial for successful outcomes.
- This review aims to facilitate the effective use of the INBONE II system.

01:10Ankle 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...
01:10Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...
01:16Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
