The MoveWright Total Ankle System

The MoveWright™ Total Ankle Replacement replaces the damaged cartilage with an
implant that bends and flexes to mimic the natural movement of a healthy ankle,
allowing patients to get back to living an active lifestyle.

Ankle arthritis pain can take some of the magic out of life. It can limit your ability to enjoy everyday activities and share moments with those you love.

MoveWright™ Total Ankle Replacement is designed to relieve ankle arthritis pain while increasing mobility. MoveWright™ replaces damaged cartilage so the joint can move and bend more like a healthy ankle—allowing you to walk with a more normal gait. MoveWright™ is a total ankle replacement procedure that can be tailored fit to you, providing you with a more natural fit. And it can take half the recovery time of the traditional procedure, ankle fusion.
