Brief Summary

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

The objective is to study the joint kinematics of the prosthetic implant, in terms of translation, rotation, Range of motion and proprioception, in patients treated for prosthetic replacement of the ankle, quantitatively and under physiological load conditions.

Detailed Description

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

Patients will be subjected to the same tests at zero time and 9 months after the implantation of the prosthesis, except for RSA which will be performed only 9 months after the surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA)

Intervention Type RADIATION

Roentgenstereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) is a radiographic technique, highly accurate both to evaluate the primary stability of the implant, then the micromovements between bone and implant prosthetic, both for the evaluation of the kinematics of the prosthetic components. The RSA technique in dynamics is able to obtain, with patient in motion, a series of radiographic frames in sequence in two projections, which are captured simultaneously. Each pair of orthogonal projections corresponds to a specific moment of the movement carried out by the patient and will be used to obtain, through dedicated software, a reconstruction three-dimensional instant defined "RSA scenes".

Delos Postural Proprioceptive System (computerized oscillating platform)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Delos Postural Proprioceptive System uses electronic tilting tables (on a single axis or three axes) with high frequency that allows very short stop and reversal times that allow both to study the proprioception and the patient's response to the modification of movement of the inclined plane

Modified Star Excursional Balance Tests

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The Star Excursional Balance Test (SEBT) is a clinical test designed for the evaluation of dynamic physical performance of the tibiotarsica. The first literary references date back to 1998 and the test, remaining in balance with the ankle in the studio, the achievement of the maximum possible distance with the contralateral foot along well-defined axes.

Inertial sensors Xsens MVN

Intervention Type DEVICE

The inertial motion acquisition system Xsens MVN is easy to use and economic to detect the movement of different anatomical districts. MVN is based on inertial sensors in miniature through communication solutions combined with advanced fusion algorithms sensors, using hypotheses of biomechanical models.

This MVN system is a system of inertial kinematic measurement of the whole body, which incorporates synchronized data. Instant graphic output is provided, including angles of motion articular.

American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAs)

Intervention Type OTHER

American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAs) is a clinical trial commonly used in scientific literature which serves to assess, in terms of value from 0 to 100, the autonomy, pain, stability, ankle alignment and back foot of the patient.

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

Intervention Type OTHER

The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a visual representation of the extent of pain that the patient subjectively warns. The VAS is represented by a 10 cm long line in the original version validated, with or without notches at each centimeter. One end indicates the absence of pain and corresponds to 0, the other end indicates the worst pain imaginable and corresponds to 10.

12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12)

Intervention Type OTHER

The 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Candidates for ankle prosthesis
* Potential party able to provide informed consent and sign the approved Informed Consent Form;
* Male or female patients aged 40 to 80;
* Patients available to perform post-operative rehabilitation according to standard protocol, follow-up visits and radiological investigations scheduled for follow-up up up up to 24 months. In addition, patients who are available to perform all study tests, preoperators and follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous total prosthetic replacement of the ankle (revision surgery);
* Severe pre-operative deformity in valgus or varus (\>10 sanguine); BMI\>40 kg/m2;
* Pre-existing abnormalities of walking kinematics (amputations, neuro-muscular diseases, polio, hip dysplasia);
* Severe arthrosis of the knee (Kellgren-Lawrence\>3);
* Severa coxartrosi (Kellgren-Lawrence\>3);
* Previous hip and/or knee prosthesis surgery;
* Total avascular astragalus necrosis or other severe bone loss of the ankle that makes the implantation of standard prosthetic components contraindicated;
* Pregnancy confirmed by positive hcg serum or in vitro diagnostic test or ongoing breastfeeding;
* Active or latent infection of the affected ankle joint or any other systemic infection being treated;
* History of alcoholism, drug or substance abuse intravenously, psychosis, personality disorder/s, poor motivation, emotional or intellectual problems that could make the potential subject unstable for participation in the trial, or any combination of variables which in the opinion of the Principal Investigator should exclude the potential subject;
* Clinically documented acute or chronic pathology, other than the indication for the treatment adopted in this Trial, which could affect life expectancy or make it difficult to interpret the outcome of the potential subject in accordance with the Protocol (e.g., renal, hepatic, cardiac, endocrine, haematological, autoimmune, bone metabolism, crystal deposits or neoplasms);
* Potential subjects with medical conditions that interfere with the ability to participate in a standardized rehabilitation program;
* Participation in any other trial of another drug or experimental device within 60 days prior to the screening visit or administration of that drug or device during the course of this trial.
