TALUS IMPLANT
At least one embodiment comprises a talus implant comprising: a body section; a neck section; a crown, wherein the crown is positioned at a top portion of the body section; at least one wing coupled to the body section, wherein the wing extends out from the body section. At least one embodiment further comprises at least one screw hole positioned in at least one of the neck section and the body section. In at least one embodiment the outer surface of the implant is polished. In at least one embodiment a portion of the outer surface is polished while a portion of the outer surface is roughened.
1 . A talus implant comprising:
a body section;
a neck section;
a crown, wherein said crown is positioned at a top portion of the body section;
at least one wing coupled to the body section, wherein said at least one wing extends out from the body section.
2 . The talus implant as in claim 1 , further comprising at least one screw hole positioned in at least one of the neck section and the body section.
3 . The talus implant as in claim 1 , further comprising at least one post extending out from a bottom portion of said body section.
4 . The talus implant as in claim 1 , wherein said body section has at least one polished surface and wherein said body section has a bottom surface and wherein said bottom surface of said body section is formed from a mesh structure.
5 . The talus implant as in claim 4 , wherein a bottom surface of said body section and said post are formed from a mesh structure.
6 . The talus implant as in claim 5 , wherein said neck section comprises at least two screw holes.
7 . The talus implant as in claim 6 , wherein said at least two screw holes from said neck section to said body section.
8 . The talus implant as in claim 1 , wherein said crown is configured to have at least two separate rounded surfaces.
9 . The talus implant as in claim 8 , wherein said crown has a substantially semi-circular cross-section.
10 . The talus implant as in claim 9 , wherein said neck section further comprises at least one screw hole.

18 . An implant comprising:
a body section;
an outer surface on the body section wherein the outer surface is polished, wherein the outer surface on the body section is configured to interact with cartilage of other adjacent bones.
19 . The implant as in claim 18 , wherein at least a portion of the body section has an outer surface that is roughened and formed from a mesh structure.
20 . The implant as in claim 19 , wherein the mesh structure extends outward from the body section such that the mesh structure is configured to interact with adjacent bone.
