Could a Man-Made bone putty replace your own bone in ankle surgery?

NCT ID NCT07225751

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a synthetic bone graft called MagnetOs against the standard method of using a patient's own bone for ankle or hindfoot fusion. About 126 adults needing fusion surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either MagnetOs or an autograft. The main goal is to see if the synthetic graft leads to similar bone fusion on CT scans at 24 weeks, potentially offering a less painful option.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

MagnetOs (synthetic bone graft putty)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a less painful alternative to using a patient's own bone for fusion surgery, avoiding a second surgical site.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage study (126 people) comparing to standard care. The synthetic graft may not fuse as reliably as the patient's own bone.
