Subchondroplasty for Treatment of Bone Marrow Edema in the Foot and Ankle

NCT03921489 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2025-05-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The subchondroplasty procedure has been used to treat bone marrow edema mostly located in the periarticular region of the knee. In the past few years, it has expanded its use in the foot and ankle. There has, however, been very minimal research documented on its utilization in that area. This study aims to prospectively evaluate the course of treatment and outcomes of painful bone marrow lesions in these associated podiatric circumstances using subchondroplasty. It is hypothesized that use of calcium phosphate bone substitute in the foot and ankle to treat bone marrow edema will have more favorable short and long-term outcomes than joint destructive and joint sparing procedures more commonly performed for treatment in the past.
