Initial Safety of Total Talus Replacement Used to Treat Talar Avascular Necrosis
Although further studies are needed to compare TTR with the standard of care, the results of this study demonstrate the relative early safety of TTR surgery using a 3D-printed implant for the treatment of challenging talar pathologies. A larger and longer clinical study is required to see if the efficacy of this approach will be statistically and clinically meaningful.
