3D Printed Total Talus Replacement for Avascular Necrosis of the Talus
This patient had been suffering from avascular necrosis (dead talus) for about 6 months before coming to the Orthopedic Institute of North Texas to see Dr. Justin Kane, our Foot and Ankle Board-Certified Orthopedic Specialist.
Dr. Kane performed a total talus replacement surgery with ligament reconstruction using 3D printed technology. The surgery he performed is a very new procedure that was not possible in the past. It is a specialty and not many doctors perform this surgery. In the past, the options for patients with these conditions were to fuse the ankle or to live with the pain. And now they have the option to try new technology. (3D printed technology)
Thanks to this new innovative surgery performed by Dr. Justin Kane, this patient is back on his feet and he's even running 5Ks again 1 year after his surgery.
At the end of the video, you can see the progress in his recovery during his 2-year office visit with Dr. Kane. He continues to remain pain-free and is able to enjoy an active lifestyle that before surgery he never thought he would be able to resume.
