FDA Product Code HSN: Prosthesis, Ankle, Semi-constrained, Cemented, Metal/polymer

Total ankle replacement has gained significant momentum as an alternative to arthrodesis. FDA product code HSN covers semi-constrained cemented ankle prostheses with metal-polymer bearing surfaces.

These three-component implants replace the tibial plafond and talar dome surfaces to restore pain-free ankle motion while preserving the natural kinematics of the joint. They offer improved gait compared to ankle fusion in appropriately selected patients with end-stage ankle arthritis.

HSN devices are Class II medical devices, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3110 and reviewed by the FDA Orthopedic panel.
