Abstract 

Revision of a failed total ankle replacement is a surgical challenge due to paucity of the revision ankle implants. We report early results of two cases in which Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacements (STAR) were revised to hybrid AES (Ankle Evolution System)–STAR replacements for aseptic loosening of the tibial components. We are not aware of any similar case report in the literature reporting hybrid total ankle replacements.
