An innovative technique is presented for salvage of a failed total ankle replacement resulting from talar subsidence with the use of a custom 3-dimensional printed articulating talar component with a titanium truss cage. This introduces a better alternative to an ankle arthrodesis with which ankle joint function and range of motion may be preserved.
Keywords: ankle arthritis; arthrodesis; patient specific; salvage; talar subsidence; total ankle arthroplasty.
