Salto Talaris

The Salto Talaris Anatomic Ankle (Tomier, Edina, Minnesota, US A) is ametal-on-UHMWPE, semi-constrained cemented TAR (Figure 11.15). It has been in clinical use since 2006 [88]. The device consists of two mating components a CoCr tibial base in association with a conforming UHMWPE insert and a CoCr talar resurfacing component [89]. The bony interface of the metal components are coated with titanium plasma spray, although the device is intended for cemented use only in the United States [89].
