The original design for the Agility ankle was developed and patented in the late 1970s. DePuy Orthopaedics began manufacturing the implant as the Agility Ankle System. Currently in the United States, the Agility is the most widely used ankle prosthesis. With more than 20 years of experience, the Agility Ankle System has the longest follow-up of any fixed-bearing device. Since its introduction, the Agility Ankle System has gone through several design modifications. This article briefly reviews the history of the Agility Total Ankle System and illustrates each of the modifications made with the LP implant.
敏捷(Agility)踝关节的最初设计于20世纪70年代末研发并获得专利。迪普伊骨科公司开始将该植入物作为敏捷踝关节系统进行生产。目前在美国,敏捷踝关节是使用最广泛的踝关节假体。凭借20多年的经验,敏捷踝关节系统在所有固定承重装置中随访时间最长。自推出以来,敏捷踝关节系统经历了多次设计改进。本文简要回顾了敏捷全踝关节系统的历史,并阐述了LP植入物所做的各项改进。
