Custom vs standard total ankle replacement trial
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
