Stryker STAR Total Ankle Replacement
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.
Proven. Flexible. Supported.
Prior to STAR, surgeons had limited options when performing a total ankle arthroplasty. Surgeons now have STAR – the first and only three-piece approved mobile bearing ankle implant available in the United States.
Proven
With over 37 years of experience, more than 30,000 constructs chosen and sold worldwide with proven effectiveness in prospective outcome studies, STAR has the best published long-term metal component survivorship in the U.S. and Canada.
Flexible
STAR’s modular components and positional forgiveness allow for 225 patient matched configurations with just one surgical technique. While rotating across the axial plane, mobile bearing allows for reduced point contact stress comparative to fixed bearing.
Supported
Our case support and educational programs, coupled with Stryker’s additional resources, offer the assurance you need for today and tomorrow.
