Total ankle arthroplasty has followed two major design concepts: Mobile-bearing and constrained. The US Food and Drug Administration has not approved mobile-bearing designs.

This article focuses primarily on the various design characteristics of the different mobile-bearing designs and reviews the outcome research to date.
