Abstract: The present disclosure generally discloses instruments and methods of using those instruments for performing various aspects of ankle replacement surgery. In one embodiment, an alignment assembly for adjusting a position of a guide tool relative to a patient is provided. The alignment assembly includes a proximal housing; a distal housing configured to be connected to the guide tool; and at least one linkage system configured to adjust a relative angle between at least two portions of the alignment assembly. A surgical guide wire is also disclosed. The surgical guide wire includes a distal tip having a tapered or trocar end configured for insertion into a bone; a distal region adjacent to the distal tip; a transition region adjacent to the distal region; and a proximal region adjacent to the transition region.
Abstract: An ankle prosthesis implant is disclosed herein. The ankle prosthesis implant includes a talar implant defining a superior bearing surface. The superior bearing surface includes a convex portion and a concave portion. The convex portion is defined in an anterior-posterior direction when viewed from a sagittal plane and has a neutral axis (X1) defined in a coronal plane at an anterior-posterior midline of the talar implant and extending in a medial-lateral direction. The concave portion is defined in the medial-lateral direction when viewed from the coronal plane, and the concave portion is swept about a secondary axis (X2) that is angled relative to the neutral axis (X1) upwards towards a medial end of the talar implant by an angle (?).
