Bulk allograft transplantation takes bone and cartilage from a deceased donor (cadaver) and places it into the damaged talus. This surgery is reserved for severe cases of OLT that have either failed previous surgical treatment or involve a very large part of the talus. These types of OLTs may not respond to less invasive procedures.

A thorough knowledge of ankle anatomy, pathologic anatomy and biomechanics together with a careful pre-operative planning are mandatory to successful technical performance of total ankle replacement surgery.

2014年9月3日 · Methods: A custom-designed mechanical simulator applied compressive loads (up to 300 N) and bending moments (3 Nm) to six pairs of human cadaveric ankles implanted with total ankle replacements, inducing a natural range of motion about three orthogonal axes: plantar flexion-dorsiflexion, inversion-eversion, and internal-external rotation.

The objective of this study is to design an effective replacement arthroplasty of the second and third metatarsophalangeal joint for end stage arthritis or symptomatic Freiberg’s infraction to add to the armamentarium of the foot and ankle surgeon.

This case study presents a novel technique of end-to-end implantation of cadaver graft for the repair of a complete transversely torn peroneus brevis tendon and partially torn peroneus longus tendon in a 58-year-old woman with chronic lateral ankle instability and associated lateral collateral tears …

Patients from the Baltimore and Mid Atlantic region seek the doctors of The Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at Mercy for their expertise in cartilage repair. Our foot and ankle surgeons offer advanced treatment options including BioCartilage to repair cartilage damage and restore mobility. What is Cartilage Repair?

Ankle ligament reconstruction is a surgical procedure that tightens the outside or lateral ligaments of the ankle. There are two major ankle ligaments that stabilize the lateral ankle, the anterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament.

2020年6月7日 · In the vast majority of allograft tendons harvested for ACL reconstruction, this involves a cadaver (deceased donor). In some parts of the world such as Australia, live donor (parent to child) tendon harvest has been shown to be successful in young patients under the age of 18, particularly with open growth plates.

Arthrodesis is currently the lone surgical option for end-stage arthritis of the subtalar and Chopart’s joints. By contrast, alternative approaches to arthrodesis are available for the ankle, including total ankle replacement, which has gained popularity during the past decade.

The most popular alternatives available today are total ankle replacement, supramalleolar osteotomy, and ankle distraction arthroplasty. Fresh bipolar osteochondral allograft of the ankle joint has been sporadically reported in the literature as another alternative to ankle fusion.
