Trabecular Metal® Total Ankle
Trabecular Metal® Total Ankle
Designed to work in harmony with natural anatomy this ankle implant features a low profile design, lateral surgical approach and an industry-first Prolong® Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene.
- Features
- Lateral Transfibular Approach
The anatomic centre of rotation is fully visualised and can be more precisely replicated.
- Simplified Precision
The proprietary alignment and bone preparation system is intended to make surgery more repeatable and reproducible by providing rigid fixation for bone and instruments.
- Designed to Endure
The Prolong Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Bearing Surface has been engineered to reduce volumetric wear.
- Benefits
- Durability
The Trabecular Metal (TM) Ankle demonstrates 97.3% implant survivorship at three year follow-up, favourable to the overall class of TAA.1,2
- Reduces Volumetric Wear
Prolong Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene Bearing Surface to reduce volumetric wear.3
- High Coefficient of Friction
Trabecular Metal has a high coefficient of friction vs. cancellous bone for stable initial fixation.4
- Increases Bony Support
Reduced bony resection with the TM Ankle leaves more bone, which statistically significantly increases bony support when compared to the alternative, flat resection.5
