Shin bone transport to heal diabetic foot ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a surgical technique called transverse tibial bone transport (TTT) can help heal chronic diabetic foot ulcers. TTT involves moving a small piece of the shinbone to encourage new blood vessels to grow to the wound, which may help it close.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 22 years of age or older.
- You have diabetes and a foot or lower leg wound that has stayed open for at least 12 weeks (but not more than 2 years).
- The wound is in the area from the lower shin down to your foot.
- The wound is not too small or too large (about the size of a golf ball up to a small apple).
- You may need to have a procedure to restore blood flow (revascularization) before joining, and you must have at least one good lower-leg artery.
- You must be in generally good health – not on dialysis, not severely anemic, not malnourished, and not with an active infection or a serious illness that limits life expectancy to less than a year.

This trial tests a new wound covering called NeoThelium FT to help diabetic foot ulcers heal. It is for people whose ulcer has not improved much with standard care and is not infected or too deep.
This study tests a new wound therapy for diabetic foot ulcers that haven't healed with standard care. It aims to see if the therapy helps these ulcers heal better and faster.
This trial tests whether adding a special treatment (cellular acellular and matrix-like products) to standard wound care helps diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't healed with standard care.
This study tests whether a special preparation of your own fat tissue, processed with a device called SyntrFuge, can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective in closing these hard-to-heal wounds.
This trial tests a new treatment called NeoThelium FT for diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps heal the ulcer. You may join if you have a diabetic foot ulcer that is not infected.
This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
