Oblique K-wire fixation for flatfoot correction surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at a way to hold the heel bone in place during flatfoot surgery using a small wire, which may help the bone heal correctly. It could help people who have painful flatfoot and need surgery.

This trial tests a surgical technique that realigns the foot using a small bone block to correct a severe type of flatfoot. It may help improve foot shape and function in people whose deformity is getting worse.
This trial compares two surgical methods to correct flat feet in teenagers. The goal is to see which technique gives better results and helps reduce foot pain and improve function.
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 surgical methods to correct flexible flat feet in teenagers. One method uses a small implant to support the arch, and the other combines that with a bone realignment. The goal is to find which approach gives better results for teens whose flat feet haven't improved with non-surgical treatments.
This trial compares two ways of fixing the bone after bunion surgery (using one or two small wires). It's for people with severe bunions who haven't gotten better with non-surgical treatments.
This study looks at how different ways of placing screws in heel bone surgery affect how well the foot and ankle work after recovery. It may help doctors improve surgery for heel fractures.
