Active clinical trials for "Foot Deformities, Congenital"

The main purpose of this study is to find out if scanning the foot using a 3D scanner influences the effectiveness of custom made insoles, compared to the more traditional approach of taking a foam-box impression cast of the foot. Both of these methods are currently used as standard care in the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) Orthotic Department. In this study, insoles will be manufactured either from a direct 3D scan of the foot, or from a foam-box impression cast, and a series of questionnaires will be used to measure any changes in foot pain and foot function. The results from this study will be used to develop an information resource for both patients and Orthotists which will fill gaps in our current knowledge and hopefully guide us further in providing the best possible care for future patients who require insoles.

The study in question is a post market clinical follow up (PMCF) study to evaluate the safety and performance of bioabsorbable headless compression screw Inion CompressOn in selected fracture, osteotomy and arthrodeses operations of the foot and ankle. The study recruits 125 adult patients who meet the acceptance criteria. The follow-up time for each study patient is 4 years. The study is a single center single group study which is conducted in Tampere University Hospital (TAYS) in Finland. The main focus of the study in terms of performance is to evaluate the bone healing/ossification of operated areas. The main focus of the study in terms of safety is to evaluate the occurrence of adverse events and required revision surgeries that are or might be related to the study device.

This prospective study aims to evaluate whether the implementation of a virtual reality hypnosedation (VRH)protocol reduces preoperative anxiety and increases patient comfort before, during, and after outpatient foot surgery.

Effect of systematic dexamethasone on the duration of popliteal nerve block after pediatric ankle/foot surgery

Hallux valgus is one of the most common forefoot deformities. Its prevalence increases with age, representing approximately 23% in adulthood, being more common in females. Some studies indicate that the use of the insole associated with the finger separator promotes pain relief and that this may be related to better alignment of the hallux. However, there is still no consensus about the ideal insole or how long it should be used to relieve pain or improve function in patients with hallux valgus. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to evaluate the effect of the customized insole on pain and function of individuals with symptomatic hallux valgus.

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationships between the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) height of the foot and clinical and radiological characteristics of knee osteoarthritis in adult patients 50 aged and over. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there any relationship between knee pain and disability in knee osteoarthritis and MLA height? Is there any relationship between the radiologic severity of knee osteoarthritis and MLA height? Is there any relationship between knee joint alignment in knee osteoarthritis and MLA height?

Chronic sciatica is a frequent problem whose symptoms could be related to the abnormal stresses applied to the musculoskeletal system during the gait cycle due to foot alterations. The objectives of this study are to describe the main foot alterations in patients with chronic sciatica, and to evaluate whether foot orthoses can help alleviate this pain. Patients with chronic sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation will be recruited and randomly allocate to one of both groups: one group that will be treated with custom-made foot orthoses, and one group that will be treated with a placebo orthotic device. Quality of life, pain in low-back, lower limb and foot, and disability caused by foot pain will be recorded at baseline, and after a two-month follow-up period.

This is a single arm pilot study in patients requiring surgical fusion in the foot or ankle. Patients will receive map3® Cellular Allogeneic Bone Graft containing donor matched stem cells. This cohort study will enroll 24 patients total at 1 site. After subjects have signed an informed consent, the baseline visit and examinations will be completed. Patients will be evaluated at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months after surgery.

Manual approach of Hallux Valgus with global postural reeducation.

The fact that changes in plantar pressure during walking and in a fixed position in morbidly obese individuals and the relationship between postural oscillations and balance have not been fully elucidated creates a need in this area. In this study, primary aim is to investigate the change in plantar foot pressure, balance parameters and the relationship between them in morbidly obese individuals compared to healthy individuals.
