The human foot and ankle constitute a complex mechanical structure containing 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Given its role as the primary interface between the body and the ground, it is subject to immense biomechanical stress and a high incidence of pathology. Historically, foot and ankle surgery was often secondary to hip and knee orthopedics, but the last decade has seen a paradigm shift. Today, the foot and ankle device market is one of the most dynamic segments in healthcare, driven by a convergence of materials science, digital health, and surgical precision.
