The Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement (STAR® Ankle) is intended for use as a non-cemented implant to replace a painful arthritic ankle joint due to osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
Prior to STAR, surgeons had limited options when performing a total ankle arthroplasty. Surgeons now have STAR – the first three-piece mobile bearing ankle implant available in the United States approved for uncemented use.
