Successful: This prosthesis has a very good success record in europe. Unfortunately, it is not fda approved for use in the U.S. There is a comparable (three component) prosthesis called the star that is fda approved for use in this country. It also has a very good record. www.orthodoc.aaos.org/footankle.
