U.S., March 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07486596) titled 'Arthroscopic Versus Open Subtalar Arthrodesis for Subtalar Arthritis' on March 14.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two surgical approaches for treating symptomatic subtalar arthritis in patients who have failed conservative treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are:
What is the fusion rate for each surgical technique? Which technique achieves bony union faster with fewer complications?
Researchers will compare arthroscopic subtalar arthrodesis (ASTA) to open in situ subtalar arthrodesis (ISTA) to see if one technique results in superior fusion rates, faster healing, and better functional out...
