Trial summary

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. Read more about this study

  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Any patient who needs a proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis for whose surgeon has recommended that a proximal Interphalangeal Implant Ipp-On be implanted

Who may be able to join

  • Any patient who needs a proximal interphalangeal joint arthrodesis for whose surgeon has recommended that a proximal Interphalangeal Implant Ipp-On be implanted
  • Age >= 18 years

About this study

Official title: Short Term Follow-up of Patient Implanted With the Proximal Interphalangeal

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.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hammer Toe and Claw Toe, run by Integra LifeSciences Services at 5 sites in 3 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 7 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 5 sites in France, Belgium, Switzerland. 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?

Rate of device related complications (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
