Clinical Investigation on the Outcome of Episealer Talus Post-operation for Treatment of Focal Osteochondral Defects

This is a retrospective, observational, single-arm, multi-centre, post-market clinical investigation designed to verify clinical performance and safety of Episealer Talus post-operation for treatment of focal osteochondral defects on the talus bone in the ankle. This retrospective investigation aims to collect data from patients with focal osteochondral defects treated with Episealer Talus, to provide insight on the potential benefit of Episealer Talus in the treatment of focal osteochondral defects. The aim for the clinical investigation is to collect data from approximately 25 adult subjects who were treated for focal osteochondral defect with Episealer Talus implant in 6 clinics (Sweden and Germany) since January 2020, when the devices were CE-marked. The data collected for each subject will include demographics and data generated in relation to the surgery itself and the post-surgery phases including e.g. focal defect grade and position, collected through medical record review. Each subject will also be asked to complete a set of QoL questionnaires (SEFAS, FAOS and VAS).
