Product Overview

To treat ankle pain in our International Markets, we offer the Talus HemiCAP® which has 10 convexities and a unique geometry. There are often patients who only have damage to the ridge and dome of the talus (usually medially). The common solutions for this type of defect are a fusion or total ankle replacement after conservative treatments have failed. For localized talar lesions, these options might be considered too aggressive, especially in a young patient. Arthrosurface® designed the Talus HemiCAP® to restore the dome, ridge and medial wall with all three curves/surfaces incorporated into one implant.

• One implant for 3 surfaces: dome, ridge and medial wall
• Screw based fixation provides a stable implant
• Inlay components restore congruency & maintain existing biomechanics
• Implant protects subchondral bone and shares load with surrounding tissue
• Minimal bone & tissue removal maintains future options â€“ “No Bridges Burned”
