Bone screw and tendon transfer for heel bone realignment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial studies a specific surgical technique for people who need heel bone realignment along with a tendon transfer. It tests whether using a human donor bone screw helps the bone heal and the tendon work after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery that realigns the heel bone toward the inside (medializing calcaneus) and includes an FDL tendon transfer
- Your BMI is under 40
- You are not pregnant and not nursing
- You do not have current skin sores or open ulcers where the surgery would be
- You do not have active bone infection (osteomyelitis)

This study checks how safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
This trial compares two types of screws used to correct a bunion (hallux valgus): a standard metal screw and a human donor bone screw called Shark Screw. The goal is to see if the bone screw works as well as the metal one.
This trial is testing a surgery to cut and realign the heel bone (calcaneal osteotomy) for people whose plantar fasciitis hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to relieve long-term heel pain by changing how the foot handles weight.
This trial tests whether fusing the joint just below the ankle (subtalar joint) during heel bone fracture repair helps people with severe fractures heal better. You may qualify if you have a specific type of broken heel bone and can return for follow-up visits for one year.
This study looks at how the heel bone heals after surgery and how well people can balance afterward. Researchers want to understand if certain measurements of bone healing affect your ability to stand and move steadily.
This trial compares two surgical treatments for severe heel bone fractures. It aims to see which approach helps patients recover better after this type of injury.
