Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the registry is to evaluate the continued safety and performance of Arthrex foot and ankle products, including the ProStop® implant for hyperpronated foot; Bio-Compression Screw for reconstruction surgeries of the foot; TRIM-IT Drill Pin® system and/or TRIM-IT Spin Pin™ system for fixation of fractures and fusion (bunionectomy osteotomies) of the foot/ankle; Headless Compression Screws and Compression FT Screws for fixation of small bone fragments of the foot/ankle; DynaNite® nitinol staple for midfoot and hindfoot arthrodeses or osteotomies, first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis, and mono or bi-cortical osteotomies in the forefoot; BioComposite SutureTak® anchor for medial ankle stabilization; Beveled FT Screws for hallux valgus repair; KreuLock™ screws for ankle fractures; ArthroFLEX® dermal allograft for hallux rigidus arthroplasty; and DualCompression Hindfoot Nail for tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Device-related adverse events will be continuously assessed and summarized at three months, six months, one year, and two years postoperatively to evaluate safety. A physical exam of the target area will be conducted three months postoperatively to evaluate performance. Range of motion (ROM) will be assessed preoperatively, at three months, six months, and one year postoperatively for the ArthroFLEX® dermal allograft only. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) will be evaluated for all products at three months, six months, and one year. Additionally, PROs will be assessed at two years postoperatively for ArthroFLEX® dermal allograft and DualCompression Hindfoot Nail only. PROs include the Foot and Ankle Ability Measures (FAAM), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score, and Veterans Rand 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12). DualCompression X-rays will be evaluated at six months and one year postoperatively for ArthroFLEX® dermal allograft and DualCompression Hindfoot Nail only, and CT scans will be assessed at three months postoperatively for DualCompression Hindfoot Nail only.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Subject requires surgery using Arthrex foot and ankle products included in the registry.
2. Subject is 18 years of age or over (all products except ProStop®).
3. Subject age \>two to 17 years (ProStop® product only).
4. Capable of completing self-administered questionnaires.
5. Willing and able to return for all study-related follow-up visits.
6. Subject or subject's representative signed informed consent and assent, when applicable, and is willing and able to comply with all study requirements.

(ArthroFLEX® subjects only):
7. Degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis of the 1st MTP joint with grade 2, 3, or 4.
8. Subjects who require surgical intervention or are medically indicated for an arthrodesis or arthroplasty of the 1st MTP.

DualCompression Hindfoot Nail subjects only:
9. The participant must have instability, arthritis, rigid deformity, or severe foot or ankle deformity necessitating tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis, commonly referred to as TTC arthrodesis.
10. The participant should be undergoing treatment with the Arthrex DualCompression Hindfoot Nail, either as a primary procedure or as a revision surgery, per standard of care

Exclusion Criteria

1. Insufficient quantity or quality of bone.
2. Blood supply limitations and previous infections, which may retard healing.
3. Foreign-body sensitivity.
4. Any active infection or blood supply limitations.
5. Conditions that tend to limit the patient's ability or willingness to restrict activities or follow directions during the healing period.
6. Subjects that are skeletally immature (except for ProStop®).
7. Subject is considered from vulnerable population (i.e., child, prisoner, pregnant).
8. Subjects who are contraindicated for these devices.
9. Subject is currently receiving compensation or benefits due to a work-related injury or illness under any applicable occupational injury or disability program.
10. Subject has a planned or scheduled additional surgery on the affected or contralateral lower extremity within the course of the study.

(® Nitinol Staple Subjects only):
11. Subjects who have a comminuted bone surface that would not allow for staple placement as required by the DynaNite® Nitinol Staples directions for use.
12. Subjects who have pathologic bone conditions such as osteopenia that would impair the ability to securely fix the implant as required by the DynaNite® Nitinol Staples directions for use.

(ArthroFLEX® subjects only):
13. Additional ipsilateral lower limb pathology that requires active treatment.
14. Bilateral degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis of the 1st MTP joints that would require simultaneous treatment of both MTP joints.
15. Diagnosis of gout.
16. Any significant bone loss, avascular necrosis, and/or large osteochondral cyst (\>1cm) of the 1st MTP joint.
