N2 - CASE: We present a case report documenting the retrieval and histological analysis of a porous tantalum (P-Ta) total ankle replacement (TAR) from a 50-year-old woman after a below-knee transtibial amputation. This rare opportunity to examine an intact TAR may help to better understand the implant-bone relationship because it would be in situ.CONCLUSION: In this case study, we demonstrate bone ingrowth to the first layer of the P-Ta and organized trabecular orientation, suggesting that equal bone load was achieved on the base and the rails in both components using a transfibular surgical approach.
