New Bone-Moving surgery could help avoid amputation in 'No Option' patients
NCT ID NCT07175129
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study was designed to test a new surgical technique called transverse tibial bone transport in people with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who have no standard treatment options left. The procedure involves slowly moving a small piece of shinbone to stimulate new blood vessel growth and help heal wounds. The goal was to see if it could prevent major amputation and improve blood flow, but the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Transverse Tibial Bone Transport procedure
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to save the leg and avoid amputation for people with severe circulation problems who have run out of standard treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study that was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so we have no results yet. The procedure is new and unproven, and there may be risks like infection or bone healing problems.
