Total talus replacement for ankle bone damage
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older.
- You have a condition in your talus bone (ankle) such as bone death (avascular necrosis), a large bone defect, or a fracture that has not healed with other treatments.
- You have not already had a total talus replacement implant in this ankle.
- You are not planning to get a talus replacement in both ankles at the same time.
- You do not have severe arthritis or deformity in the ankle joint, and you are free of active infection.

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 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.
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 trial tests a surgery that takes a small piece of bone and cartilage from your knee and transplants it to a damaged area in your ankle. It may help people with severe ankle cartilage injuries that haven't gotten better with other treatments.
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.
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.
