Long-term follow-up for a mobile-bearing ankle replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study follows people who get a total ankle replacement using a specific implant, to check how it does over many years. You may be asked to return for regular visits so the team can see what works best and whether complications occur.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks how well a specific hip replacement bearing surface (called dual mobility with Vivacit-E or Longevity) performs over time in real-world patients. It may help people by tracking long-term safety and performance to guide better hip replacement choices.
This study follows people who get (or already had) a shoulder replacement to see how the implant is doing over time. It may help improve future care by tracking long-term performance and safety.
This study looks at how well total ankle replacement surgery works and what the scans show over time. It mainly includes adults who had the surgery in a specific date range, to better understand results after ankle replacement.
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.
This study tests whether starting ankle movement early after total ankle replacement helps you recover faster and with better results. It is for adults with osteoarthritis who are getting their first ankle replacement.
