Patient-specific ankle spacer for avascular necrosis after surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study follows people who are getting a custom-made spacer implanted in the ankle for avascular necrosis. It’s mainly checking what happens after the surgery in real-world care, and it may help improve how these implants are used and tracked over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have avascular necrosis (bone tissue is not getting enough blood) in your ankle joint
- You are 21 years old or older
- Your doctor/surgeon is planning for you to receive a patient-specific talus spacer as part of your usual care
- You can sign a written consent form before surgery
- You are not pregnant (if you can become pregnant)
- You do not have an active infection and your skin at the surgery site is healthy

This study is a real-world registry that follows adults who need a talus (ankle bone) replacement and are able to participate over time. It helps doctors understand outcomes and safety, especially the risk of infection, and may offer structured follow-up care.
This trial tests a new total talus replacement implant for people with severe talus bone problems like avascular necrosis, non-healing fractures, or large bone defects. It aims to see how well the implant works and how patients recover.
This study follows people who get certain Arthrex foot and ankle implants to check how safely they heal and work over time. It may help your care team by adding long-term information about these devices.
This trial is testing a custom-made implant called Episealer for people with a damaged spot of cartilage in their ankle that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. The goal is to see if the implant helps improve symptoms and holds up well for at least 2 years after surgery.
This study tests a custom-designed ankle replacement device for people with severe ankle bone damage or loss. The device is made specifically for each patient at the Rizzoli Institute in Italy to help restore ankle function and reduce pain.
This study compares a custom-made artificial ankle joint to a standard one for people with arthritis in one ankle. If you are a candidate for a first-time ankle replacement, this trial could help find out which type of implant works best.
