Disclosure
- Consultant speaker:
- Wright Medical, INC/Stryker
- Bespa Global
- Paragon 28
- Kinos
- Integra
- A systematic review and meta‐analysis
- Included 58 papers (7942 TARs) with an inter‐observer
reliability (Kappa) for selection, performance, attrition, detection and reporting bias of between 0.83 and 0.98
- The overall survivorship was 89% at ten years with an
annual failure rate of 1.2% (95% confidence interval 0.7 to 1.6)
How long do primary TARs last?
Zaidi R et al: J Bone Joint Surg, 2013, 95‐B, 1500‐7
We don’t yet know the longevity of modern total ankles
Indications for revision
Impingement Malposition of components Loosening of components Pain Infection Ligamentous instability
Problems encountered
Component subsidence Bone defects Coexisting adjacent joint
arthritis
Hindfoot, midfoot
deformities
Removal of custom talar stem
A simple algorithm
Revised algorithm…
Prosthesis salvageable Prosthesis unsalvageable Surgeon’s choice
A case: prosthesis salvageable
- STAR in since
2014
- Only recently
painful
- 10/10 pain
CT scans
CT scans always show more
Revision
Curettage cyst Outlining the depth
Salvaged: calcium phosphate cement, new poly
A revision gastroc recession was performed
At 6 months
2 year follow-up
Motion at 2 years
Only a few degrees of plantar flexion
Dorsiflexion Plantar flexion
Prosthesis unsalvageable options:
The options in the United States:
- Wright Medical InBone 2
- Wright Medical Invision
- Salto Talaris XT 2 Ankle
Not options in my hands:
- STAR
- Salto Talaris Anatomic Ankle
- Depuy Agility
- Zimmer Trabecular Metal Ankle
- Exactech Vantage
- Paragon Ankle
Surgical Technique: Revision TAR General Assessment once prosthesis is removed
determine bone deficit evaluate for fractures assess talar insufficiency assess the subtalar joint
Surgical Technique: Revision TAR Malleolar Fracture
avoid malleolar fracture as much as possible fix malleolar fx with K-wires or screw
Surgical Technique: Revision TAR
Place talar trial to assess residual talus Use lamina spreader Adjust talus cut freehand
Surgical Technique: Revision TAR Tibial Preparation
leg placed and secured in “the” foot holder proper alignment obtained with AP and Lateral alignment rods under C-arm tibia is drilled
Surgical Technique: Revision TAR Tibial Preparation
- cutting block is lined up to the
drill, then tibial cuts completed
- tibia is reamed
- tibial stems inserted until
tibial tower construct is complete
Surgical Technique: Revision TAR Talus Preparation when there’s lots of talus
- leg removed from foot holder
- talar trial and trial PE liner inserted
- trial components removed and talar stem is reamed
- talar component is positioned
- properly sized PE liner inserted
When there’s talar insufficiency
Fuse the subtalar joint
Use autograft from tibial cut
At one year
At 7 years
Motion at 7 years
Dorsiflexion Plantar flexion
When there is even less talus..
Even less talus…
Level off residual talus until it lines up
At 6 months At 2 years
ROM at 6 months ROM at 2 years
Dorsiflexion Dorsiflexion
ROM at 6 months ROM at 2 years
Plantar flexion Plantar flexion
69 F hx of RA 6 years s/p R STAR TAA
When there’s no viable talus
CT shows very little viable talus left
Planning of the total talus replacement is based on a CAT scan
- f the opposite normal ankle.
digital data then used to mirror it to fit the bad ankle
The prosthesis is then manufactured using a 3D printer to match the abnormal ankle
Talus made with InBone 2 dome
Final prosthesis
Intraoperative
2 years postop
Invision Revision System
INVISION Total Ankle Revision System
The Next Step in Total Ankle Revision Arthroplasty
Poly Options
- Thickness options
ranging from 6mm to 20mm
Fixation & Stability
- Modular Tibial stems
for robust stability
- Plasma spray and
smooth options
Joint Height Restoration
- Talar Plate with two
thickness options to help restore natural joint height
Bone Loss & Tibial Coverage
- Standard and Long Tibial Tray
lengths to allow optimum cortical coverage
- Multiple thicknesses to address
Tibial defects
Talar Coverage
- Broad anatomic footprint to
provide cortical rim coverage
- 2 sagittal sizing options to
maximize Talar neck coverage
Fixation & Stability
- Talar pegs positioned for
anterior bone purchase
Ballooning osteolysis

- STAR implanted 2 years previous
- Never helpful, always painful
