New Device Leads the Way For Total Ankle Replacement

Until recently, there were limited options for a total ankle replacement. Dr. Russell S. Sticha, foot and ankle specialist at Heartland Orthopedic Specialists, is now providing a solution to ankle arthritis.

Dr. Sticha is currently using INBONE® by Wright Medical Technology and is one of few surgeons in the state trained and experienced in performing total ankle replacements.

"I am currently using INBONE® by Wright Medical and think it is the best device out there, due to the fact that it is the only device based on hip and knee implants," explains Dr. Sticha. "It is also providing better outcomes, shortened recovery times, and does not exclude younger, active patients."

The INBONE® Total Ankle has many features that enhance its performance, including:

1. Long anchoring stems
2. Customization

With these features, Dr. Sticha is able to secure the ankle in place as well as select the appropriate components based on each patient’s size and bone structure, making each ankle exclusive to the patient.
