What’s Involved
Investigators will collect and analyze information about a participant’s condition, surgery, bone healing, X-rays, and any complications that might arise.Ìý
The participant will be asked to complete questionnaires related to the treatment. Most participants will be in the study for approximately 6 months to 2 years.
The number of visits and X-rays is standard of care as determined by the treating surgeon. No extra visits or X-rays are done as part of the study. Participants will be asked to complete surveys approximately every 3 to 6 months while they are in the study.
