Abstract: A monolithic interpositional arthroplasty implant for use in repairing gyngylmus joints such as the joints of the ankle. The implant is a monolithic tibiotalar implant having a first major surface shaped to be positioned against a tibia. The tibia is allowed to articulate across the first major surface. A second major surface is shaped to be positioned against the talus.

Abstract: An interpositional arthroplasty system for use in repairing ginglymus joints such as the joints of the ankle, including a tibiotalar implant (124) that provides a first major surface (130) adapted to be positioned against a tibia (120) and a second major surface (132) adapted to be positioned against a talus (108) and a polymeric ankle implant that provides a first major surface adapted to be positioned against a talus and a second major surface adapted to be positioned against a calcaneus. Such an implant can be useful for correcting various deformities of an ankle, as well as increasing articulation of a joint. Also described are biomaterials, including polymeric biomaterials having use in preparing such implants, as well as surgical kits that include implants and other tools adapted for their use.

Abstract: A system for the creation or modification of an orthopedic joint within a mammalian body is disclosed. The system includes an implant (122, 132, 232, 332, 432) that provides a major surface adapted to be positioned against a metatarsal bone and an end (136, 236, 336, 436) adapted to be retained within a phalange.
