Testing a new toe implant for arthritis and crooked toes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new implant called Lync® to fix arthritis or crooked toes (like hammer, claw, or mallet toes). The implant helps straighten the toe bone and may reduce pain.

This study checks how safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
This study tests a new computer-guided system to help surgeons perform bunion correction surgery (called a Lapidus procedure) more accurately. Participants will receive this guided surgery along with a standard implant, and researchers will track how well the surgery works and how patients recover.
This study tests a minimally invasive surgery for bunions (hallux valgus) using small incisions and a special screw to straighten the big toe. It aims to see if this approach improves recovery and outcomes compared to standard surgery.
This trial studies a specific way of fixing certain hip (upper thigh) fractures using a metal nail with locking screws. It may help improve how well fractures heal and how stable the repair is.
