16 devices · GMDN 33582
This category includes sterile, implantable artificial devices designed to replace the damaged or arthritic articulating surfaces of the ankle joint. The devices typically consist of metal tibial and talar components that articulate with a polyethylene bearing, which is not attached to the metal components to allow for greater joint range of motion.
These devices are supplied as sterile surgical implants intended for implantation into the ankle joint, often with the use of fixation devices like screws. Implantation may be performed with or without the use of bone cement.
