From 1981 to 1985 28 ankle arthrop! lasties were performed using a congruent and cylindrical ankle design. The talus component was an anatomically shaped cap to cover the talus dome and the facets. The tibial component was congruent toward the talus and had two parallel bars on the back for fixation into the distal tibia. The diagnosis was osteoarthritis in 15 cases and rheumatoid arthritis in 11 cases (two bilateral cases). There were seven failures, giving a cumulative estimated survival rate of 70% for the prosthesis at 12 years.
