Total Talus Replacement
Total Talus Replacement for Avascular Necrosis
A total talus replacement for avascular necrosis of the talus — restoring near-normal, pain-free movement with implants surviving up to six years.
Patient Age
32 Years
MECHANISM
Avascular necrosis
PRESENTATION
Chronic Talar AVN
APPROACH
Custom Total Talus Replacement
01
Clinical Rationale
Once the talar blood supply is lost, joint-preserving options are exhausted. A custom implant replaced the necrotic bone and restored almost normal, pain-free movement — with the Centre's cases now surviving up to six years.
02
Surgical Approach
A custom total talus replacement was implanted, replacing the necrotic talus and restoring the ankle's articulation. The patient regained almost normal, pain-free range of motion post-operatively.
02
Imaging & Progression
Pre-operative imaging, intra-operative views and post-operative results. Each slot maps to a CMS image field — drop in the matching consented file from the case folder.
#1
Total talus replacement is a boon for cases of avascular necrosis of the talus.
#2
Almost normal movements are regained without pain following replacement.
#3
The centre's cases have survived up to six years and are still surviving.
#4
Joint-preserving options are exhausted once the talar blood supply is lost, making replacement the viable route.

Total Talus Replacement for Avascular Necrosis
A total talus replacement for avascular necrosis of the talus — restoring near-normal, pain-free movement with implants surviving up to six years.
A 32-year-old woman developed avascular necrosis of the talus, a condition in which loss of blood supply causes the bone to weaken and collapse. Pain and progressive damage threatened both the ankle and hindfoot joints. A total talus replacement was considered as a motion-preserving alternative to a large fusion.
