New Ankle Surgery Helps People Walk Better
There is a new way to fix bad ankles. A company called restor3d has a new ankle part called the Aeros Modular Stem System. This new system helps doctors do ankle replacement surgery better.
What Does the New System Do?
- It makes the new ankle joint stronger.
- It saves more of your own bone during surgery.
- It makes the surgery easier and faster for doctors.
Doctors have already used this new system in over 250 surgeries. Patients and doctors liked how well it worked. It helps people get back on their feet.
How Is It Different?
This new system is special because it uses 3D-printed parts. These parts are made to fit your body better. Doctors can put them in through a small cut in the front of your ankle. They do not need to make big cuts or use big tools.
Dr. Samuel Ford, a doctor who helped make this new system, said it gives the ankle a strong hold without hurting too much. He said patients are getting better very fast.
Why Is This Important?
When you have an ankle replacement, you want it to last a long time. This new system helps the new ankle joint stay in place better. It also helps your body grow into the new parts, making them even stronger over time.
The company restor3d wants to give doctors more choices to help their patients. This new system is one more way they are doing that. It helps make sure people get good results from their ankle surgery and can walk comfortably again.
This new ankle system is now ready for doctors to use in the United States.
