Study on Bone Implants for Foot Joint Fusion

We want to find out how well a type of foot surgery called talonavicular joint fusion works. We will look at how many people heal well after surgery, how their pain and movement change, and what problems might happen. We also want to see if things like age, weight, or smoking affect healing. This will help doctors know what to expect and how to care for patients having this foot surgery.

What will be asked of you

At each follow-up visit, you will fill out short surveys about how your foot feels and works. We will also take x-rays of your foot while you are standing at some visits. After one year, we'll do a CT scan to see how your joint is healing. You won't need any extra visits outside of your regular surgery follow-up.
