The Assessment of Talar Cartilage in Patients With Unilateral Traumatic Transtibial Amputation

NCT04486534 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 72

Last updated 2021-02-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA) has been previously demonstrated in patients with lower limb amputation. Although there are many studies on knee joint of intact limb of amputees in the literature, the number of studies on intact foot and ankle is extremely limited. The primary aim of the study is to compare the intact talar cartilage, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscle thickness measurements of traumatic unilateral transtibial amputee patients with that of healthy individuals using ultrasound. The secondary aim is to investigate the relationship between cartilage and muscle thickness measurements with clinical parameters.

Conditions

  • Traumatic Amputation of Lower Extremity
  • Cartilage Degeneration

Interventions

OTHER
