Abstract
A prosthetic ankle comprising a talar component and a tibial component. At least a portion of top surface of the talar component has a convex curvature, relative to a location above the top surface, in the anterior to posterior direction as viewed in a sagittal plane cross-section, a concave curvature relative to a location above the top surface, in the medial to lateral direction, and an average radius of curvature of at least a major portion of the medial side of the top surface of the talar component is larger than an average radius of curvature of at least a major portion of the lateral side of the top surface of the talar component as viewed in sagittal plane cross-sections on the lateral and medial sides. A bearing component for location between the tibial and talar component is also described.
