Foot & Ankle Surgical Implants Information

Ankle Joint Replacement

Salto Tolaris Total Ankle Replacement

The Salto Talaris, which has been modeled after the human anatomy and is positioned to redefine the classic approach to ankle arthroplasty. The innovative Salto Talaris now provides surgeons the ability to reproduce the natural flexion/extension axis of the ankle with an anatomic design. The Salto Talaris implant design and instrumentation is founded on the Salto mobile-bearing ankle prosthesis, which has been in clinical use since 1997.

INBONE Total Ankle Replacement

Until recently, there were limited options for ankle replacement in the U.S. The INBONE™ Total Ankle began as a leading foot and ankle surgeon’s quest to provide a viable surgical solution to ankle arthritis patients for pain reduction and restored mobility. The INBONE™ team carefully studied previous ankle designs to determine the causes of implant failure. With that knowledge in hand, and using design elements already proven successful in hip and knee implants, INBONE™ engineers designed a total ankle replacement that could stand the test of time. The INBONE™ Total Ankle has many features that enhance its performance.

External Ring Fixation

SBI RingFix RAD Ankle Joint Arthrodiastasis (distraction)

The RingFIX™ RAD is a new SBi external fixation system developed to address the growing ankle osteoarthritis market and offers an alternative to ankle fusion or replacement. This system is solely dedicated to the technique of distraction arthroplasty (surgical repair/cleaning) of the ankle joint. Distraction arthroplasty is indicated for patients with ankle osteoarthritis with preserved ankle joint geometry and mild-moderate limitations in joint mobility. This technique preserves the natural ankle joint anatomy and has been reported to extend the life of an ankle joint.

SBI RingFIX™ - External Ring Fixation System

The SBi RingFIX™ is a modular external fixation system designed to accommodate patients with a large variety of clinical needs. Originally marketed in Europe under the Fixano brand, RingFIX™ has a successful 20 year history of clinical use in the global healthcare marketplace. Developed around the principles of the Ilizarov technique begun in Russia over 50 years ago, RingFIX™ offers near limitless configurations servicing both pediatric and adult patients.

ArthroCare Arthrosurface HemiCAP - Great toe/Lesser Toe

The Arthrosurface® HemiCAP® resurfacing system is a comprehensive surgical solution for the treatment of lesions and cartilage defects in the body’s weight bearing, non-weight bearing and extremity joints.

MetaSurg BioMotion Hemi Great Toe

The BioMotion™ First MPJ Cannulated Hemi System has been designed for use in a simplified, reproducible surgical technique. The BioMotion™ implant also features a low profile surface, thus reducing the amount of bone resection needed and allowing for retention of the flexor tendon attachment sites.

BioPro First MPJ Hemi Implant / Partial Great Toe Replacement

BioPro® hemi toe implant is an excellent alternative to fusion. The implant gives patients pain relief and restores motion. The BioPro implant is the most extensively studied toe replacement available. The implant has been successfully used since 1952 and has a 38-year clinical study showing a 97.4% success rate. The BioPro® hemi toe is simple to implant, removes the minimum amount of bone possible, and preserves the anatomy of the first toe.
