Agility Low Profile: Short-Term Update and Representative Case Presentation

The Agility LP (low profile) total ankle prosthesis is the most recent refinement of the Agility total ankle system (DePuy orthopedics, Wausau, IN). This prosthesis was developed in an effort to address several problems encountered during the history of the Agility. Reliance on the cortical support of the fibula associated with fusion of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and semiconstrained design remains the cornerstones of the long-term success of this system. Short-term observation demonstrates the changes in the LP have proven to decrease the complication/reoperation rate and, when necessary, make revision easier.
