    AbstractIn 1997 six patients with posttraumatic ankle arthritis aged 54 (45-71) years were treated with a LINK S.T.A.R. ankle prothesis. The average follow up was 29 (21-36) months. Results were evaluated according to the ankle score of H. Kofoed [7]. Two patients had an excellent outcome and 1 patient had a fair result. In three patients secondary arthrodesis had to be performed, due to loosening of the implant. Based on our experiences we cannot recommend this implant for patients with posttraumatic arthritis at this time.
