The Exactech Vantage® Total Ankle was created by a team of engineers and global surgeon leaders who are passionate about getting patients back to what they love.
The Exactech Vantage Total Ankle was designed with the latest advances in total ankle research to mimic the patient’s anatomic ankle shape and support natural movement.
The Zimmer Biomet Trabecular Metal ™ Total Ankle is the first and only ankle implant available on the market that is implanted from a lateral approach through the fibula (outer ankle bone). It uniquely resurfaces the tibia and talus by using coupled and curved cuts that aim to preserve as much bone as possible while allowing for a maximal restoration of ankle function.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved SBi’s Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement (STAR™ Ankle) system to treat U.S. patients. It is a safe, proven alternative to failed conservative treatment. It is the only three piece mobile bearing non constrained, uncemented total ankle replacement (to receive pre-market approval to replace a painful arthritic ankle joint due to post traumatic arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis).
With over 17 years of experience, performing hundreds of ankle fusions, ankle deformity corrections, triple arthrodesis, subtalar fusions and over 150 total ankle replacements, Dr. Adam D. Perler is a leader in the field of foot and ankle. Helping patients get back on their feet and back to their lives is a passion of Dr. Perler’s. He is one of a very few select group of surgeons nationally who has been extensively trained on all available total ankles on the market. He serves as a key opinion leader on total ankle, frequently lecturing on the topic and has co-authored articles about total ankle replacement.
Dr. Perler currently serves on the Zimmer Biomet Total Ankle development team which features an elite group of some of the most accomplished total ankle surgeons in the world. In addition to this, Dr. Perler was the first surgeon in Florida to successfully perform a custom 3-D partial ankle replacement. Following his passion to continuously seek advancements in the realm of ankle replacement surgery, Dr. Perler has designed/developed his own total ankle replacement system for which he currently holds two patents with an additional one pending.

With Dr. Perler’s unique expertise and his national reputation, patients are referred not only locally, but from all over the country. Many of the referrals are patients with significant post-surgical complications including prior infections, complicated lower leg and/or foot deformities, failed prior joint replacements, poorly positioned fusions, and non-healed fractures. Dr. Perler consults with these patients to give them individualized and definitive solutions to their problems, and in most cases Dr. Perler is able to improve their lives.
Dr. Perler’s ability to solve complex problems and help his patients is the driving force behind maintaining the high quality of care offered, and why AOA has become both a regional and national referral center.
