The total ankle arthroplasty is conditioned by the difficulties of obtaining a stable and small sized implant on the talus. The failures of this type of prosthesis are in fact mainly due to the difficulties of the bone to bear the prosthesis (talar-prosthesic subsidence) in addition to the usual problems related to the prosthesis implant such as stiffness, lack of stability and excessive wear.

Abstract
The total ankle arthroplasty is conditioned by the difficulties of obtaining a stable and small sized implant on the talus. The failures of this type of prosthesis are in fact mainly due to the difficulties of the bone to bear the prosthesis (talar-prosthesic subsidence) in addition to the usual problems related to the prosthesis implant such as stiffness, lack of stability and excessive wear. The third generation prosthesis (B.OX., Eclipse, and Mobility) seem to have solved these inconvenient. We present the preliminary results concerning the ‘‘Mobility’’ (De Puy) prosthesis we are using as from July 2008.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
