Recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval makes STAR® Ankle the first and only mobile bearing ankle system with e+™ Polyethylene in the United States.1 The implant’s new vitamin E-blended e+™ Polyethylene insert will offer improved durability, stability, and longevity.1 "With e+™ Polyethylene, we uphold our commitment to the advancement of our total ankle portfolio, merging full oxidative resistance with the time-tested design of the STAR® Ankle,” said Gary Justak, President and General Manager of Enovis Foot & Ankle. “Building upon the proven success of the STAR® Ankle epitomizes our culture of advancing foot and ankle solutions and elevating patient treatment options. We don't just set the standard—we redefine it.” e+™ Polyethylene contains the free radical-neutralizing antioxidant vitamin E; as a result, the material resists oxidation and maintains consistent wear rates and stable mechanical properties over time. In contrast, other highly crosslinked polyethylenes are remelted during manufacturing to neutralize free radicals2, a process that can reduce their mechanical strength by up to 12%.1,3 “After extensive clinical experience with this superior material in knee and shoulder implants, along with years of laboratory testing, I expect improved patient outcomes through increased polyethylene longevity. This builds on the outstanding STAR® Ankle long-term metal-component survival rates seen in multiple clinical studies,” stated Dr. Gregory Lundeen, a foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon at Reno Orthopedic Center. Combined with the recent release of STAR Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI), the STAR+ Experience represents Enovis’ commitment to continuous improvement, aimed at enhancing patient satisfaction and outcomes. The integration of e+™ Polyethylene in the STAR® Ankle continues to enhance the remarkable success of this implant, which has been used globally over 40,000 times across its 37-year history.4 For more information about the STAR® Ankle with e+™ Polyethylene and Enovis' innovative foot and ankle solutions, please visit https://www.enovis.com/products/star-ankle.
