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 tests a new total shoulder replacement system to see if it is safe and effective for people with shoulder arthritis. The goal is to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
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 a new type of partial knee replacement where only the damaged bone and cartilage are replaced, instead of the whole knee. It aims to help people with severe knee arthritis keep an active lifestyle and delay or avoid a total knee replacement.
This study is testing a new knee replacement part (tibial plate) in people having their first total knee replacement. It aims to see how well the implant works for conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
