Who can take part

  • The participant must be willing and able to sign a written approved informed consent form (ICF) approved by Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee (EC)
  • Participants must be males or non-pregnant females aged 21 years or older at the time of surgery
  • Willing and able to comply with the requirements of the clinical investigation plan (CIP), including attend all required study visits
  • The participant must be able to follow instructions and deemed capable of completing clinical investigation questionnaires
  • Considered a candidate for total ankle replacement with the Incompass Total Ankle System in accordance with its legally approved Indication for Use (IFU)

Who cannot take part

  • Participant is currently enrolled in or plans to enroll in any concurrent drug and/or device clinical investigation that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may confound results
  • Participants who have participated previously in this clinical trial and who have been withdrawn
  • Participants with a failed previous ankle surgery (e.g., takedown fusion)
  • Participants who have documented or suspected sensitivity to the implant materials
  • Participant with an ankle condition, as determined by the investigator, to be an inappropriate candidate for total ankle replacement
  • Participants with a medical or physical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude safe participation in the clinical investigation
  • Participants with any infection at the ankle site or infections at distant sites that could migrate to the ankle, including sepsis and osteomyelitis
  • Any mental or neuromuscular disorder that would create an unacceptable risk of failure or complications in postoperative care
  • Any participant that meets the definition of a Vulnerable Subject per ISO 14155 Section 3.44
  • Participant who is, or will be, inaccessible for follow-up
  • Participant is pregnant or intends to become pregnant during the course of the study
  • Participants requiring revision total ankle replacement of the ankle being considered for the study
  • Participants with compromised vascularity that would inhibit blood supply to the operative site
  • Neuropathic arthropathy of the joint
  • Insufficient bone stock or bone quality that cannot provide adequate support of the device
  • Participants with inadequate neuromuscular status or those having poor skin coverage around the joint, which would make the procedure unjustifiable
  • Participant who routinely place excessive loads on their ankle as caused by activity and/or patient weight, per investigator discretion; or

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The goal of this study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of the Incompass™ Total Ankle System after surgery over the standard follow-up period. The study will measure improvements in patient-reported information related to quality of life and pain following surgery. In order to do this, medical imaging (i.e. X-Rays, CT scans) which have been taken as part of routine care, will be reviewed. Any additional X-Rays conducted during the period of the research will also be reviewed.
