K-wire guided heel bone surgery for flatfoot correction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new method to guide a small wire (K-wire) during heel bone surgery to fix flatfoot. It aims to make the surgery more accurate and safer for people with painful flatfoot.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a painful flatfoot that needs surgery to correct it.
- You have not had any previous foot surgery.
- You do not have severe health problems that would make surgery risky.

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 two surgical methods for teens with painful, flexible flat feet that haven't gotten better with non-surgical treatments. The goal is to find out which technique works better for correcting the foot shape and relieving symptoms.
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 compares two ways to join two small bones in the foot during a bigger fusion surgery. It will help find out which method works better and causes fewer problems.
This trial tests if a special taping technique (calcaneal kinesiology tape) can help teenagers who have flat feet and heel pain from plantar fasciitis. It aims to reduce pain and improve foot function.
This trial compares two surgical treatments for severe heel bone fractures. It aims to see which approach helps patients recover better after this type of injury.
