Am I a Candidate?
Not everyone is a good candidate for the APEX 3D Total Ankle Replacement System. Talk to your doctor to discuss your lifestyle and health to find out if surgery with the APEX 3D System is a good option for you. Individual results and activity levels after surgery vary and depend on many factors including age, weight, and prior activity level.
Only your surgeon can determine this. In general, patients with painful and disabling ankle arthritis that have failed to improve with non-surgical treatment are considered candidates for ankle replacement.
Patients must have adequate skin coverage over the ankle, be infection-free both at the ankle and elsewhere, have normal sensation and muscle control of the foot and ankle.
A surgeon specialized in foot and ankle surgery can best evaluate your condition and determine if an ankle replacement is right for you.
Prior to use of this system, your surgeon should refer to the product instructions for use package insert for warnings, precautions, indications, contraindications and adverse effects.
