Zadek osteotomy for Haglund's syndrome
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgery called Zadek osteotomy for people with Haglund's syndrome (a painful heel condition). It may help those who haven't gotten better after at least six months of non-surgical treatments.

This study compares two surgical procedures for people with chronic pain at the heel where the Achilles tendon attaches. One surgery reattaches the tendon, and the other reshapes the heel bone (Zadek osteotomy). The goal is to find which method works better for relieving pain and improving function.
This trial is testing a surgery to cut and realign the heel bone (calcaneal osteotomy) for people whose plantar fasciitis hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to relieve long-term heel pain by changing how the foot handles weight.
This trial studies a surgery that uses your own tissue (bone/cartilage part) to repair a specific, advanced ankle cartilage injury (Hepple V) in the talus bone. It may help people with ongoing ankle pain when rest and anti-inflammatory treatments haven’t worked.
This trial compares different ways of correcting a bow-legged deformity by cutting the shin bone and opening a wedge. The goal is to find the best alignment to reduce knee pain and slow arthritis.
This trial tests two surgical treatments for thumb base arthritis (rhizarthrosis) when other treatments like splints and injections haven't worked. It compares a newer joint implant (arthroplasty) with a standard procedure to remove a small bone (trapezectomy). The goal is to see which helps patients recover hand function better.
This trial compares two methods for a knee realignment surgery called a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to treat arthritis on the inner side of the knee. The study aims to see if one technique leads to better results or fewer complications.
