Der Erfolg in der Hüft- und Kniegelenkprothetik und die ungünstigen Langzeitergebnisse nach Arthrodese des oberen Sprunggelenkes haben das Interesse für den Kunstgelenkersatz des oberen Sprunggelenkes neu geweckt. Im Gegensatz zu den anfänglichen Lösungen berücksichtigen die neuen Implantate die Besonderheiten der Anatomie und Biomechanik des Sprunggelenkes, womit die Bandstrukturen die Führung und Stabilisierung des Gelenkes übernehmen können. Voraussetzung sind allerdings eine regelrechte mechanische Ausrichtung und Stabilität des Fußes. Erstmalig in der Literatur vermittelt dieses Werk einen umfassenden Einblick in die physiologischen und mechanischen Besonderheiten des arthrotischen Sprunggelenks und die damit verbundenen Möglichkeiten und Gefahren des prothetischen Ersatzes. Wichtige Erkenntnisse aus den Anfängen der Sprunggelenkprothetik wurden aufbereitet und leiten über in einem Überblick zum heutigen Stand. Zahlreiche eindrucksvolle Grafiken, Fotos und Abbildungen illustrieren das gesamte Buch.

The book focuses on the advancements in ankle arthroplasty, emphasizing the design of new implants that aim to replicate normal ankle anatomy and enhance joint stability. It serves as a comprehensive atlas, detailing the physiological and mechanical characteristics of the ankle joint and various total ankle systems. Drawing from a decade of research and over 350 procedures, the author aims to deepen understanding of ankle management in end-stage arthritis. The publication is richly illustrated with figures, drawings, and colored images, making it a valuable resource in the field.

This book comprehensively discusses the basic and practical aspects of foot and ankle surgery applied to all pathologies resulting from instabilities of these joints, a condition that remains underestimated. Uniquely, it not only addresses injuries to the lateral ankle ligaments, but also examines injuries to the deltoid-spring ligament complex, the syndesmotic and chopart joint ligaments, as well as peritalar instability – all pathologies that have often been neglected in the past. For each type of instability, it describes the anatomical basics and the biomechanical features, allowing readers to understand the injury pattern, the subsequent symptoms and clinical findings. Further, it offers guidance on selecting the most appropriate imaging tool for diagnosis and planning surgical reconstruction. Written by world-renowned pioneers in the field, and featuring a wealth of high-quality, intraoperative pictures, the book guides readers step-by-step through the latest, innovative technical surgical solutions for each condition. With its consistent structure, from the basics to the solution, its problem-oriented approach as well as its meticulously selected iconography, this book is a must-read for all orthopedic surgeons with an interest in foot and ankle surgery whishing to explore this promising field. Further, it is a valuable resource for residents, researchers and physiotherapists wishing to gain insights into foot and ankle instability and reconstructive surgery.
