, /PRNewswire/ -- Stryker (NYSE: SYK), a global leader in medical technologies, announced today that it will showcase new advancements across its Foot & Ankle portfolio at the 2026 American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Annual Meeting in Seattle, including the launch of Prophecy Surgical Planning for the Incompass Total Ankle System and the introduction of Hoffmann LRF smartHEX.
Prophecy has established itself as an important surgical planning tool in ankle surgery, processing more than 100,0001 cases over the past 14 years. Now available with Incompass, Stryker's comprehensive total ankle replacement system, Prophecy enables surgeons to leverage this depth of experience through patient-specific surgical planning, enhanced 3D planning tools, and both resect-through and pin-through fixation options. The integration of these two products further reflects Stryker's commitment to delivering technology-enabled solutions.
"We've seen incredible customer adoption and feedback around Prophecy, and we're excited to extend that offering to Incompass," said Adam Jacobs, vice president and general manager of Stryker's Foot & Ankle business. "By bringing Prophecy to Incompass, we're combining the power of patient-specific planning with our newest total ankle system, helping surgeons make more informed decisions before they ever enter the operating room."
The Incompass Total Ankle System was created using insights generated through Prophecy and SOMA (Stryker Orthopaedic Modeling and Analytics), incorporating real-world anatomy and surgical planning into the implant design. The addition of Prophecy Surgical Planning further strengthens the connection between preoperative planning and implant selection, enabling surgeons to make more informed decisions.
Expanding beyond total ankle replacement, Stryker will also introduce Hoffmann LRF smartHEX, the newest advancement in its limb reconstruction portfolio. The platform combines expanded frame options, mobile guidance and updated planning software designed to support complex deformity correction. Through the mobile application, smartHEX creates a connection between patients and their surgeon-prescribed correction plan, bringing patient guidance, surgeon planning and correction capabilities together throughout treatment.
"AOFAS gives us an important opportunity to demonstrate how Stryker is building on decades of foot and ankle experience, customer insight and data," said Jacobs. "By bringing Prophecy Surgical Planning to Incompass and introducing Hoffmann LRF smartHEX, we are continuing to connect planning, implants and reconstruction technologies in ways that give surgeons more flexibility across the continuum of foot and ankle care."
Attendees can experience both technologies and Stryker's full Foot & Ankle portfolio through exhibit and educational programming at AOFAS 2026, booth #601.
