Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The specific objectives are to show that the safety data of the S.T.A.R. ankle arthroplasty is similar for treatment of single ankle disease (as defined in the pivotal study) and bilateral ankle disease. The bilateral disease may be identified at the time of enrollment or may have progressed after enrollment and treatment of the first ankle in the pivotal study.

The S.T.A.R. ankle system is the study device. The device has three parts: two metal bearing surfaces (cobalt-chromium alloy) plates with bars that fit into the bone and one plastic (polyethylene) spacer that moves between the metal plates like a ball bearing. The materials in the S.T.A.R. device are the same materials used in total hip and knee implants. Both ankles of every subject will be treated with the STAR ankle.

* Willing and able to give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients who have not reached skeletal maturity
* Active or prior deep infection in the ankle joint or adjacent bones
* Prior arthrodesis at the involved site
* History of prior mental illness or patient demonstrates that their mental capacity may interfere with their ability to follow the study protocol

* History of current or prior drug abuse or alcoholism
* Any physical condition precluding major surgery
* Prior surgery and/or injury that has adversely affected the ankle bone stock
* Severe osteoporotic or osteopenic condition or other conditions that may lead to inadequate implant fixation in the bone
