Abstract
Total ankle arthroplasty is one form of operative treatment for arthritis of the tibiotalar joint. The two main design concepts are fixed and mobile bearing. The trend in Canada has been to move away from the Agility prosthesis and move toward the 3 component mobile design. The majority of these implants are the STAR, the Hintergra and the Mobility ankle replacements. A review of the literature pertaining to these implants is presented. Canadian outcome studies reviewing these implants are forth coming.
