About this study

The great toe is vital for normal, pain free ambulation. Decreased function associated with osteoarthritis of the first matatarsal phalangeal joint (MTP I) often called Hallux Rigidis or Hallux Limitus leading to a painful great toe. Patients experience pain during ambulation especially during the push-off phase of gait. When surgery is indicated four techniques are used for hallux rigidis; cheilectomie, resection arthroplasty, arthrodesis and implant surgery (1). Endoprostetic implants are relatively new. Silicone Implants like the arthroplasty developed by Swanson (2) resulted in foreign body reactions and periarticular bone loss. Subsequent implants, in particular the metallic hemi arthroplasty with or without polyethylene articulations, have been more successful (3). Still, implants are prone to wear of the material and show higher rates of loosening and infection compared to other techniques (4;5). In the last decades several new implants are described using two non cemented pressfit components, of titanium alloy or ceramic (6-9). Between 2001 and 2004 the investigators developed a new concept with instrumentation for exact alignment to prevent for wear with loosening of the implant on the long term. The implant has bone-conserving characteristics to enable arthrodesis as a salvage procedure. It is a completely modular two-component press fit titanium alloy implant with polyethylene insert that can be used as either for hemi-, total- or revision arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study is to have an overview of clinical status of the patient implanted with the METIS® prosthesis at short term (2 years of follow-up). The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Metatarso-Phalangeal prosthesis METIS® at short term follow up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hallux Rigidus and Hallux Limitus, run by Integra LifeSciences Services at 4 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Czechia, Netherlands, South Africa, Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

occurrence of device related complications (time frame: at 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2014.
