The Paragon 28® Patient Specific Talus Spacer is an alternative treatment option to fusion and amputation and requires talus replacement surgery. During this procedure the native talus bone is removed and replaced with a 3D printed replica. This is considered a joint-sparing procedure, as it allows the patient to maintain motion of his/her ankle joint.

- The first and only FDA approved total talus implant on the market available in multiple materials
- Indicated for Avascular Necrosis of the ankle
