Summary

The current research study evaluates an investigational medical device called Amplex B2A(TM) Peptide Enhanced Ceramic Granules ("Amplex") for use in foot and ankle fusion. Amplex is a synthetic bone graft material. The most frequently used graft material is bone collected from the patient (autograft). Autograft involves a secondary incision with the risks of infection and lasting pain. The purpose of this study is to determine if Amplex is a safe and effective alternative to autograft.
