Effect of novel polyethylene insert configurations on bone-implant micromotion and contact stresses in total ankle replacement prostheses: a finite element analysis

Effect of novel polyethylene insert configurations on bone-implant micromotion and contact stresses in total ankle replacement prostheses: a finite element analysis

PurposeThis study investigates the impact of elastic improvements to the artificial ankle joint insert on prosthesis biomechanics to reduce the risk of prosthesis loosening in TAR patients.MethodsCT data of the right ankle was collected from one elderly female volunteer. An original TAR model (Model...
