Abstract
Total ankle arthroplasty has advanced rapidly in the last 20 years. Early agility implants enjoyed improved survivability compared with more archaic total ankle implants. When talar subsidence occurs, the revision options include a stemmed component to improve stability by spanning the subtalar joint. Removal and revision of these stemmed components can be difficult because of ingrowth and bone loss.
