  • Title: Total Talus Replacement: Case Series and Literature Review.
    Author: West TA, Rush SM.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 2021; 60(1):187-193. PubMed ID: 33218861.
    Abstract:
    Custom 3D printed total talus implants have been used successfully as a functional alternative to arthrodesis or amputation in cases of severe talar destruction or loss. However, the ideal material and construct still remains to be elucidated. Current models have been made from aluminum ceramic, cobalt chrome, stainless steel, titanium, or metal combinations. The implants may be constrained (subtalar arthrodesis) or unconstrained (press fit within mortise). They may also be combined with a tibial prosthesis or used in isolation. The majority of currently published case studies examine unconstrained and isolated implants. This case study presents satisfactory 1-y outcomes in 3 cobalt chrome constrained total talar implants used in combination with a tibial prosthesis, and a literature review of total talus replacements.
