Footinnovate.com will be presenting a new webinar on Thursday, July 28 by Dr. James DeOrio, MD on ankle reconstructive surgery. The topic for the evening, which starts at 7:00pm Eastern Daylight Time, is titled: Ankle Fusion vs Ankle Replacement: You make the call; Pros and Cons of Keeping the Motion. For those interested, you can register here to participate in this webinar.
This should be an interesting discussion as total ankle replacements (TAR) have been gaining considerable ground in the United States as of recently and are more commonly being offered as a surgical option, in comparison to the gold standard of ankle joint arthrodesis. There are currently 5 ankle joint implants used in the U.S. including the SBI Star, Depuy Agility, Tornier Salto Talaris, and the Wright Medical Inbone and Inbone II ankle implants.
