FDA's MAUDE database holds 185 reports that name the brand "Unknown Total Ankle Replacement" (prosthesis ankle semi-constrained cemented metal/polymer), received between June 2025 and August 2026; the manufacturer given most often on reports is Wright Medical Technology. Spellings of one product vary from report to report.
161 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, up 571% from 24 in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are injury (100%); across all prosthesis, ankle, semi-constrained, cemented, metal/polymer reports (product code HSN) death is recorded in 0% and malfunction in 3.4%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are insufficient device problem information (91.9%), osseointegration problem (2.7%) and implant subsidence (1.1%). The patient problems coded most often are inadequate osseointegration, cyst(s) and pain. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
