Summary

This study looks at how well a dissolvable implant placed in the foot joint of children and teens (ages 8-15) works after at least 5 years. Researchers will use MRI scans and foot function scores to see if the implant has dissolved properly and if patients are doing well. The goal is to gather long-term information, not to test a new treatment.
