Abstract
Since the first implantation of a “true” ankle prosthesis at the Endoklinik in Hamburg in 1972 (Buchhok et al. 1973), at least 20 different designs have been described. Beginning in the mid 1980s, prostheses intended for use without bone cement and with or without meniscus function have ap peared (Scholz 1987; Buechel et al. 1988; Takakura et al. 1990; Kofoed and Stürup 1994).
