Knee surgery may change ankle pain – small study investigates
NCT ID NCT05183750
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 20 people with knee arthritis who had a surgery called high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to realign their knee. The goal was to see how the surgery changed ankle pain and ankle joint alignment. Researchers measured pain and bone angles before and after surgery. The study is complete, but because it is small and observational, it only helps us understand possible links, not prove a treatment works.

- Active substance

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand how knee surgery affects the ankle, potentially improving surgical planning and reducing ankle pain after knee realignment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, completed study with only 20 participants. It does not test a new treatment, so results may not apply to everyone and cannot confirm any benefits.
