Abstract uni-hannover.de 1Institute of Metal Forming and Background: The use of artificial endoprostheses has become a routine procedure Metal-Forming Machines, Leibniz Universität Hannover, An der for knee and hip joints while ankle arthritis has traditionally been treated by means Universität 2, 30823 Garbsen, of arthrodesis. Due to its advantages, the implantation of endoprostheses is Germany constantly increasing. While finite element analyses (FEA) of strain-adaptive bone Full list of author information is available at the end of the article remodelling have been carried out for the hip joint in previous studies, to our knowledge there are no investigations that have considered remodelling processes of the ankle joint. In order to evaluate and optimise new generation implants of the ankle joint, as well as to gain additional knowledge regarding the biomechanics, strain-adaptive bone remodelling has been calculated separately for the tibia and the talus after providing them with an implant. Methods: FE models of the bone-implant assembly for both the tibia and the
