STAR® Ankle
Simplified & Flexible Mobile Bearing Total Ankle
![Star+](/sites/default/files/images/brand-banners/pdp-banner-star.jpg?v=100)
Now simplified, the Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement (STAR® Ankle) serves as a non-cemented implant to alleviate pain in arthritic ankle joints caused by osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis.
Before STAR® Ankle, surgeons faced limited choices for total ankle arthroplasty. With STAR® Ankle, surgeons now have access to the first three-piece mobile bearing ankle implant approved for uncemented use in the United States.
STAR® PSI is only available for sale in the U.S.
