Revision Total Ankle Replacement Surgery

---

Revision ankle replacement surgery involves replacing a failed or  malfunctioning ankle prosthesis with a new implant. Dr. Alttahir carefully assesses the underlying cause of the failure and tailors the  surgical approach to address the specific issues. The revision surgery aims to restore joint function to failed ankle replacements or complex ankle pathology patients, alleviate their pain, and improve their outcomes, whilst avoiding the need to perform fusion surgery, salvage bone transport or reconstructive surgery, or even in worse case scenarios below knee amputation surgery.

In complex revision ankle replacement cases, Dr. Mustafa Alttahir  utilizes cutting-edge technology to design and create custom  patient-specific 3D printed implants. By employing advanced 3D modeling software, such as Materialise 3-matic, Dr. Alttahir can analyse patient deformities with precision and accuracy. This software allows him to generate a detailed virtual model of the patient's anatomy, facilitating the design of implants that are uniquely tailored to each individual.

Dr. Mustafa Alttahir possesses a remarkable proficiency in utilising  advanced medical Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, enabling him to design custom 3D printed metal implants from start to finish. With his expertise in this cutting-edge technology, Dr. Alttahir excels in the field of patient-specific implants for orthopedic surgery by offering tailored solutions for patients requiring implants.

Dr. Mustafa Alttahir's mastery of medical CAD software (Materialise Mimics and 3-matic) is instrumental in his ability to provide personalised treatment for his patients. This sophisticated medical software allows him to create precise three-dimensional models of patients' anatomy based on medical imaging data, such as CT  scans or MRIs. With expert precision, Dr. Alttahir utilizes this  technology to analyse the unique structure and specific requirements of  each patient, facilitating the design process for custom implants. 

Dr. Alttahir's proficiency extends to designing custom 3D printed metal implants. Utilising the information obtained from the medical CAD software, he can tailor the design of implants to fit the exact  specifications of each patient. This individualised approach ensures  optimal implant fit, stability, and functionality. By leveraging his  extensive knowledge of orthopedic biomechanics and the specific needs of each patient, Dr. Alttahir creates implants that have the potential to offer superior performance and long-term success. 

The utilization of custom 3D printed metal implants offers numerous benefits for patients:

1. Tailored Precision: Custom implants designed by Dr. Alttahir precisely match the patient's unique anatomy, resulting in an excellent fit with the aim of improved surgical outcomes.
2. Optimised Functionality: By customising the design of implants, Dr. Alttahir aims to ensure optimal functionality, which in turn may allow patients to regain mobility and experience improved joint performance.
3. Reduced Complications: The custom fit of 3D printed metal implants minimises the risk of complications such as implant loosening, discomfort, or limited range of motion, resulting in improved patient satisfaction.
4. Enhanced Durability: 3D printed metal implants, carefully designed by Dr. Alttahir, have the potential to offer exceptional durability and longevity, with the goal of providing patients with long-term implant performance.

Dr. Mustafa Alttahir's proficiency in medical CAD software and his  ability to design custom 3D printed metal implants exemplify his  expertise and innovative approach in orthopedic surgery. By harnessing this advanced technology, he ensures personalised treatment solutions, with the aim of achieving optimal patient outcomes and improved quality of life. Dr. Alttahir's commitment to staying at the forefront of medical advancements enables him to provide patients with the most advanced and effective implant options available for their complex problems.
