First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 50 people who have a rare condition where the talus bone in the ankle dies (avascular necrosis). They receive a custom 3D-printed replacement talus, sometimes with a total ankle replacement. Researchers track motion, pain, walking speed, and satisfaction for one year to see how well the implant works compared to older surgeries.
