使用侧面办法和专门植入的新的脚踝更换技术在130名病人中表现出持久的成功,能够更快地康复。 A new ankle replacement technique, using a side approach and specialized implant, shows lasting success in 130 patients and allows faster recovery.

Mark Schon博士开发的一种新的脚踝替换技术为脚踝关节炎患者提供了更好的长期效果。 A new ankle replacement technique developed by Dr. Mark Schon offers improved long-term outcomes for patients with ankle arthritis. 与从前方接近脚踝的传统外科手术不同, Schon的方法从侧面进入关节,保存更多的骨骼,并使用专门金属植入器,以更好地与周围骨头连接。 Unlike traditional surgery that approaches the ankle from the front, Schon’s method accesses the joint from the side, preserving more bone and using a specialized metal implant designed to bond better with surrounding bone. 13年前就植入了第一个使用这种方法的Zimmer BioMet Trabeculate Metal 完全替换骨骼,患者仍然有一个功能性植入器。 The first Zimmer Biomet Trabecular Metal Total Ankle Replacement using this approach was implanted 13 years ago, and the patient still has a functional implant. 最近130名病人提供的数据显示,手术后5至10年,植入物仍然完好无损。 Recent data from 130 patients show the implants remain intact five to ten years after surgery. 康复与传统方法相似,但患者在手术后两周内可以完全体重,完全康复通常在六个月至一年之内进行。 Recovery is similar to traditional methods but allows patients to bear full weight as early as two weeks post-op, with full healing typically occurring in six months to a year. 目前,全世界约有15 000人使用这一技术,最近在2025年6月的《Bone杂志》和《联合外科》上公布的一项研究报告中证实这一技术。 The technique is now used by about 15,000 people worldwide and was recently validated in a June 2025 study published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery.
