How It Started

Driven by the question, “can we do better,” Exactech engineers and our talented team of world-class surgeons sought to create an implant that addressed current clinical challenges.

The Vantage Ankle launched in 2016 as a biomechanics-focused solution designed to address subsidence, implant loosening, bone cysts, instability, polyethylene revision, and impingement leading to pain during movement/activity.1
