NCT ID NCT06662266

Summary

This study is testing a new bone graft material called Induce XT in 60 people undergoing foot or ankle fusion surgery. The graft is made from processed human bone and is meant to help the bones heal together. Participants will be followed for 12 months with X-rays, CT scans, and questionnaires to see how well the bone fuses and how their recovery goes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Induce XT (a mixture of processed human cortical and cancellous bone particles)

What this could lead to

If it works, Induce XT could provide a safer, more effective bone graft option for foot and ankle fusion surgeries, reducing the need for harvesting the patient's own bone.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 60 participants and no comparison group, so results may not be conclusive. The bone graft may not fuse as well as existing options, and there are standard surgical risks like infection or non-union.
