The present disclosure relates to an artificial ankle joint tibial component and, more particularly, to an artificial ankle joint tibial component of an implant that is implanted into a body, the implant including: a body part having a contact surface in contact with a resected surface of a distal end of a tibia of a joint and a joint surface facing a joint; and a fixing part formed to extend a predetermined length upwards from the contact surface, wherein the fixing part is configured as a single body formed to extent a predetermined length upwards from the center in the front area of the contact surface and includes a wing extending to one side, and wherein the wing includes at least one posterior wing that extends at a predetermined angle relative to an AP line, thereby preventing stress from being concentrated on one wing to avoid a fracture thereof and increasing the contact area between a bone and an implant to strengthen fixing force, prevent rotation, and disperse stress, so that bone resorption around the wing can be prevented.

Artificial ankle joint tibia component

Disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing an implant that is to be surgically inserted in vivo, such as in an artificial knee or artificial hip. According to the method, the porous layer contains pores that have a vertically curved shape with a radius of 100 to 300 &#x3bc;m, thus allowing a bond to grow into the pores to enhance bond adhesion, and an interconnection space is formed between turning points in adjacent unit base layers to increase the ratio of interconnection between pores, whereby bones are allowed to grow into the pores to increase bone adhesion.
