NCT ID: NCT04949685 Completed - Surgery Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Clinical and Functional Results After Operative Correction of Lesser Toe Deformities

Start date: November 25, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The plantar plate is an important static stabilizer of lesser metatarsophalangeal joints, and disruptions of the plantar plate can lead to significant instability and lesser toe deformities.Our study proposes an inexpensive and versatile method for plantar plate repair

NCT ID: NCT04610437 Completed - Surgery Clinical Trials

Intramedullary Resorbable Fixation System Versus K-wire for the Treatment of Lesser Toe Deformities

Start date: May 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Hammertoe deformity is one of the most common deformities in the foot and is characterized by dorsiflexion of the proximal phalanx at the metatarsal-phalangeal joint and a plantarflexion of the middle phalanx at the proximal interphalangeal joint. Surgical intervention for this type of deformity is indicated when the symptoms progress and conservative treatments are not enough, that is, when we are faced with a rigid painful deformity.Arthrodesis of the proximal interphalangeal joint temporarily fixed with a Kirschner wire is the most commonly used techniques. Therefore, intramedullary fixation with a PLLA needle may be a good alternative. The use of biomaterial is gaining relevance in foot surgery, with polylactic acid being the most widely used due to its strength. Its total biodegradation requires a time of 16-24 months. No cases of foreign body reaction have been described with this type of osteosynthesis material, due to its characteristics similar to those of bone. Its only drawbacks are that it increases the complexity of the technique and that it increases the cost of the procedure. Being a flexible needle, it allows to leave a functional intraoperative claw. It maintains the functionality of the distal interphalangeal joint and carries a lower risk of infection by carrying osteosynthesis material on the outside. The purpose of the present study is to prospectively collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of operative correction of hammertoe deformity using a fixation system of intramedullary device of polylactic acid versus a kirschner wire.

NCT ID: NCT04154046 Completed - Diabetic Foot Clinical Trials

Treatment of Impending Ulcers Associated With Hammer, Mallet and Claw Toe Deformities in the Diabetic Patient Setting

TODDIII
Start date: November 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients with diabetes, hammer, mallet and claw toes and impending ulcers associated with hammer mallet and claw toes will be randomized to tenotomy (cutting) of flexor tendons to the afflicted toes, done by needle and standard offloading or offloading alone. Impending ulcers are defined as callus or nail changes that are known pre-stages to ulcers. The effects of the surgery on incidence of ulcers associated with the named deformities, and rate of complications associated with the surgery.

NCT ID: NCT04154020 Completed - Diabetic Foot Ulcer Clinical Trials

Treatment of Ulcers Associated With Hammer, Mallet and Claw Toe Deformities in the Diabetic Patient Setting

TODDII
Start date: November 30, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

1. Aim Patients with diabetes, hammer, mallet and claw toes and ulcers associated with the named deformities will be randomized to tenotomy (cutting) of flexor tendons to the afflicted toes, done by needle and standard offloading or offloading alone. The effects of the surgery on time to healing of ulcers associated with the named deformities, recurrence of the ulcers, and rate of complications associated with the surgery. In addition to this all patients gait and balance will be examined before start of the study, and after 3 months, to se if there is an effect of the surgery on patients gait and balance. 2. Method A prospective randomized clinical study, which means a study were patients will be allocated randomly to surgery and standard care or standard care alone. Patients will attend a total of up to 14 visits over a 12-month period. 3.

NCT ID: NCT01285011 Completed - Hammer Toe Clinical Trials

Short Term Follow-up of Patient Implanted With the Proximal Interphalangeal Implant

Start date: April 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Hammertoe and ClawToe are ones of the most common foot deformities. The second toe is the most frequently affected, but the other small toes may also be involved. When nonoperative treatment fails, surgery often is recommended. One surgical option is the arthrodesis of the Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) joint. This arthrodesis is technically demanding, its needs: - Internal fixation; - Interphalangeal Compression; - Anatomic PIP joint plantar flexion angle. The implant Ipp-On has been developed for this specific arthrodesis. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Proximal Interphalangeal Implant: Ipp-On at short term follow up. The safety of the Ipp-On will be described in terms of rate of device related complications. The efficacy of the Ipp-On will be described in terms of fusion rate at 6 months.
