Can The Inbone Total Ankle Replacement Have An Impact?
The Inbone Total Ankle Replacement is a multiple module system with two components creating the joint of the system. This system utilizes a modular tibial stem system that one assembles in situ to minimize dissection. This device does not require windowing of the anterior tibial cortex for implantation. This modular system has been touted as customizable and reportedly provides better support and stress sharing through the tibia to prevent subsidence without compromising the syndesmosis. Furthermore, the new system also does not use an oversized tibial component as does the Agility. Accordingly, it does not require disruption of the fibular head and only minimal medial malleolus resection. The tibial component has multiple sizes of replaceable polyethylene inserts, ranging from 8 mm to 11 mm, to provide for long life of the implant. In addition to the modular tibial stem, three talar component stems exist to complement the talar component that is shaped to mimic normal anatomy. The tal
