Abstract
The apparatus for total ankle replacement relates to a 3-component system for replacing the entire ankle joint comprising a tibia implant 100 for replacing a deformed tibia bone, a talus implant 200 for replacing a deformed talus implant and a mobile structure sliding interface 300 sandwiched between the said tibia implant and the talus implant to enable the relative motion between the said tibia implant 100 and the talus implant 200 in order to restore the natural movement of an ankle joint.
Claims19
An implant device for total ankle replacement comprising:
- a tibia implant 100 having at least one angularly positioned cylindrical projection tibia peg 103 on a tibia mating surface 101, a tibial ankle surface 102 of the said tibia implant 100 is provided with a raised lip tibia stopper ridge 105 on its rear edge for the prevention of the dislocation of a sliding interface 300;
- a talus implant 200 having at least one angularly positioned cylindrical projection talus peg 203 on a talus mating surface 201, a talus ankle surface 202 is provided with at least one raised projection guiding ridge 204 running along the entire anterior-posterior length of the said talus implant 200 and a raised projection talus stopper ridge 205 running along the partial anterior-posterior length of the said talus implant 200;
- an unattached mobile structure sliding interface 300 positioned between the tibial ankle surface 102 and the talus ankle surface 202 in a sandwiched manner having a surface tibia face 301 of the sliding interface 300 complementing the tibial ankle surface 102 of the tibia implant 100, a surface talus face 302 of the sliding interface 300 having at least one negative impression of the guiding ridges 204 of the talus implant 200 as a guiding groove 303 and a negative impression of the talus stopper ridge 205 of the talus implant 200 as a stopper groove 304.
