Am I a candidate?

Your eligibility to participate in the study is based on a specific set of requirements that are set by the study protocol.  The protocol is a document that contains the set of rules and procedures to be followed during a clinical research study.

You may be eligible if you have been diagnosed with a joint or bone problem in your foot or ankle that must be treated with a bone fusion (bone joint stabilized to provide a stiff and pain-free joint) procedure. In a fusion procedure, fixation devices (e.g., screws, pins, and/or wires) are placed in the bone, along with a bone grafting material (stimulates new bone growth and provides a framework for new bone) to help fuse the bones. The fixation devices and bone grafting material are intended to keep the joint stable until a fusion can take place.

This clinical study will evaluate a new bone grafting material, Augment™ Injectable (the investigational device), for use in a standard fusion procedure. The study is being conducted to see whether Augment™ Injectable is safe and effective replacement for autograft in foot and ankle bone fusion.

Please note:   Only a research study staff member can determine if you are eligible to participate in the clinical study
