Metallic 3D Printed Total Talus Replacement: A Case Study

We present a single case study of a 73-year-old female with idiopathic necrosis of the talar which was treated with a total talar replacement prosthesis. A patient specific custom talar prosthesis was created using the mirror image of the contralateral healthy talus obtained using a CT scan of the contralateral limb. The patient underwent surgical resection of the pathologic talus with implantation of the custom talar prosthesis.
