Foot implant plus standard surgery for flatfoot
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether placing a small implant in the sinus tarsi (a space in the side of the foot) during a standard flatfoot surgery helps improve the results. It's for adults with stage II adult acquired flatfoot deformity who have not improved with conservative care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 75 years old.
- You have stage II adult acquired flatfoot deformity (a specific type of flatfoot that developed in adulthood) and your surgeon thinks your foot needs a certain type of bone realignment.
- You have tried at least 3 months of non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy) without enough improvement.
- You have not had surgery on the same foot for flatfoot before.
- You do not have general hypermobility (very loose joints), osteoarthritis in the foot or ankle, rheumatoid arthritis, or other severe medical conditions.
- You do not currently smoke, are not pregnant, and have no known drug or alcohol abuse.

This study examines a specific foot surgery (subtalar arthrodesis with a bone block) designed to correct progressive collapsing foot deformity. Researchers will use advanced imaging to measure how well the surgery corrects the foot's alignment and function.
This trial tests a new implant to treat flexible flatfoot in children. It may help reduce pain and improve foot function during growth.
This study tracks how well a special reabsorbable implant works over time in children and teens who had subtalar surgery for flatfoot. You'll have an MRI to see how the implant has changed and if it helped your foot.
This study follows up with patients who had surgery to correct flat feet in childhood using special implants. Researchers want to see how well the surgery worked over 10 years and whether any changes occurred in the foot structure.
This study tests a modified surgical technique to fix a painful, flexible flat foot in adults who haven't improved with nonsurgical care. It may help by repairing a key ligament on the outside of the knee to support the arch.
This trial studies results after a combined bunion and forefoot alignment surgery to improve foot shape and function. It may help people whose foot angles show significant bunion and front-of-foot deformity.
