Abstract:

Objective To investigate simulating motions of postoperative digital model with Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement (STAR). Methods 3D postoperative digital model with STAR was established through the software of Mimics 10.01, Geomgic studio 10.0 and PRO/E 2.0, and then its motions were simulated through the software of PRO/E 4.0. Results Motion simulation videos of postoperative digital model with STAR were successfully established, including plantar flexion, dorsal flexion, adduction, abduction, inversion and eversion. All motions were iconically presented, while, postoperative theoretical range of all motions were obtained. Conclusions Motion simulation of postoperative digital model with STAR is beneficial to prevent operative failure and improve the operative accuracy by preoperatively presumption of the postoperative theoretical range of motion (ROM) of joint prosthesis.
