What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at how people walk before and after a type of ankle surgery called arthroscopic microfracture with a biologic scaffold. The surgery is used to repair damaged cartilage in the ankle joint. Researchers will measure foot pressure and walking patterns in 60 patients using a special pressure-sensing platform. The goal is to see if the surgery helps restore a more normal walking pattern six months after the procedure.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
arthroscopic microfracture and biological scaffold
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that the surgery improves walking patterns in people with ankle cartilage defects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study with no control group, so results may not apply to everyone. It only measures walking changes, not long-term pain or function.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Mar 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * presence of osteochondral defect on talus confirmed with MRI * planning for arthroscopic microfracture+ biological scaffold surgery Exclusion Criteria: * presence of foot and ankle deformities * Presence of orthopedic or neurological pathologies that may affect walking biomechanics. * History of prior foot and ankle surgery.
