Official Title: Structural HATCP Graft vs Tricortical Iliac Crest Autograft in Paediatric Calcaneal Lengthening Osteotomies: Interim Results From a Randomised Controlled Noninferiority Study

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to determine whether structural calcium ceramic bone graft substitute (ReproBone™) is non-inferior compared to autologous tricortical iliac crest bone graft in lateral calcaneal lengthening osteotomies in pediatric patients and reduces postoperative pain.

To groups of patients (age 5-16) will be compared. One group randomized to autologous bone graft and the other group randomized to calcium ceramic.

The evaluation will be based on radiostereometric analysis, pedobarography, Patient reported outcome assessment (Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire), and pain (measured by visual analog scale and numerical range scale).
