Abstract

Bone remodeling after total ankle replacement (TAR) is a serious problem concerning the long term stability of the implant. With the help of the finite element method (FEM) remodeling processes after TAR have been calculated for the tibia and the talus. The results may be useful to optimize the implant design and to contribute to the longevity of TAR.
