Bone block surgery for severe flatfoot
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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 study tests whether placing a small implant in the sinus tarsi (a space in the side of the foot) during a standard flatfoot surgery helps improve the results. It's for adults with stage II adult acquired flatfoot deformity who have not improved with conservative care.
This study follows up with patients who had surgery to correct flat feet in childhood using special implants. Researchers want to see how well the surgery worked over 10 years and whether any changes occurred in the foot structure.
This study tracks how well a special reabsorbable implant works over time in children and teens who had subtalar surgery for flatfoot. You'll have an MRI to see how the implant has changed and if it helped your foot.
This trial tests a new implant to treat flexible flatfoot in children. It may help reduce pain and improve foot function during growth.
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 flat feet in teenagers. The goal is to see which technique gives better results and helps reduce foot pain and improve function.
