Ankle Replacement
The mobile bearing Buechel-Pappas™ Total Ankle Replacement
System is the culmination of over twenty five years of research
and development. It fully exploits the mobile bearing concept
by maintaining complete congruity for all phases of motion.
Further it provides normal ankle motion and stability along
with this congruity. The low wear ceramic coating of superior
biocompatibility; along with its porous coated ingrowth fixation
geometry provide a realistic expectation for a long life and
perhaps a lifetime joint replacement.
Advanced
Surface Modification Technology
Recent advances in surface modification technology have made,
in our opinion, titanium alloy the metal of choice for orthopaedic
implants. New, diamond hard, extremely adherent and corrosion
resistant Titanium Nitride (TiN) ceramic coatings (UltraCoat®)
make titanium greatly superior to cobalt chromium alloy (Co-Cr)
in reducing UHMWPe wear as well as superior in corrosion resistance
and biocompatibility. Endotec thus offers premium UltraCoat®
on all metal implants.
