Overview

Arthrorisis of the subastragalus joint represents one of the surgical treatments for addressing flexible flatfoot, a condition caused by joint deformity. The device is designed to restore the correct joint relationships between the astragalus and calcaneus, with the goal of maintaining the new and proper joint alignment over time, typically allowing for bone remodeling along natural growth lines, usually within a few years.

Several implants and various variations of the procedure have been developed.There are currently no prospective studies that assess radiographic and clinical data over time. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze the outcomes of surgical intervention using subastragalus arthrorisis with a polymeric endorthesis for the treatment of flexible flatfoot during the growth period in a consecutive series of 55 patients.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
