An interpositional arthroplasty system for use in repairing ginglymus
joints such as the joints of the ankle, including a tibiotalar implant
(124) that provides a first major surface (130) adapted to be positioned
against a tibia (120) and a second major surface (132) adapted to be
positioned against a talus (108) and a polymeric ankle implant that
provides a first major surface adapted to be positioned against a talus
and a second major surface adapted to be positioned against a calcaneus.
Such an implant can be useful for correcting various deformities of an
ankle, as well as increasing articulation of a joint. Also described are
biomaterials, including polymeric biomaterials having use in preparing
such implants, as well as surgical kits that include implants and other
tools adapted for their use.
