About this study

Official title: Midfoot Fusion Bolt (MFB). A Randomized Controlled Multicenter Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Surgical Treatment With Midfoot Fusion Bolt in the Early Stage of Diabetic-neuropathic Charcot Feet

Randomized clinical trial (RCT) to compare treatment failure rates of surgical arthrodesis with MFB against cast treatment in patients suffering from early stage Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) of the midfoot (Sella and Barrette stages 0, 1 or 2) within the first 2 years after initial treatment. Treatment failure is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following: 1. Amputation, 2. Occurrence of ulcer or worsening of existing ulcer, 3. Surgical intervention for correction of deformity after initial treatment. The secondary aims are to compare foot function, radiologic outcome, quality of life, complications and foot temperature between the two groups.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. treatment failure rate

    Treatment failure is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following:

    1. Amputation
    2. Occurrence of ulcer or worsening of existing ulcer (according to Wagner classification)
    3. Surgical intervention for correction of deformity after initial treatment

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Foot function

    Foot and ankle ability measure score and standard Range of motion measurements.

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

  2. Radiologic outcome

    Weightbearing or simulate lateral and AP x-Rays of both feet will be taken. Talus-first metatarsal and Calcaneus-fifth metatarsal angle will be measured.

    Measured: baseline, 12 weeks, 12 months

  3. Evaluation of the generic quality of life including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression

    EuroQoL5 questionnaire

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

  4. Rate of complications

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

  5. Foot temperature

    Diabetica Solutions thermometer

    Measured: baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months
