Study of ankle fusion and its effect on subtalar joint
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at what happens to the subtalar joint (the joint just below the ankle) after only the ankle joint is fused (joined together surgically). It aims to understand how often that joint also fuses on its own over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have had surgery to fuse only your ankle joint (not any other foot joints)
- You have not had a prior subtalar joint fusion

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 trial tests whether giving antibiotics before surgery can prevent infections in people having subtalar fusion (a procedure to join two bones in the ankle). If you have arthritis in that joint from a past injury and are otherwise healthy, this study may help lower your risk of infection after surgery.
This trial tests whether fusing the joint just below the ankle (subtalar joint) during heel bone fracture repair helps people with severe fractures heal better. You may qualify if you have a specific type of broken heel bone and can return for follow-up visits for one year.
This trial is a study of people who have had ankle ligament surgery. It aims to learn more about how these surgeries work and help future patients.
This trial tests two ways to fix complicated ankle and lower leg fractures in people over 65. It compares using a nail through the heel versus plates and screws to see which helps you heal and move better.
This study looks at how ACL reconstruction knee surgery might affect the mechanics of your ankle joint. It aims to understand if the surgery changes how your ankle moves and works, which could help improve rehabilitation.
