Study summary

The ACHILLS Trial is a multicentre randomised controlled feasibility study comparing partial calcanectomy with and without the use of an antibiotic-impregnated bone graft substitute (Cerament G) for treating calcaneal osteomyelitis, specifically on wound healing rates, re-infection, and overall efficacy in a sample of 30 patients over a one-year period.

  • Rate of Wound Healing — 3 months post-surgery
    To determine the number of patients achieving complete wound healing in patients undergoing treatment with cerament G compared to those with partial calcanectomy alone by measuring wound volume
  • Rate of Wound Healing — 6 months post-surgery
    To determine the number of patients achieving complete wound healing in patients undergoing treatment with cerament G compared to those with partial calcanectomy alone by measuring wound volume
  • Rate of Wound Healing — 12 months post-surgery
    To determine the number of patients achieving complete wound healing in patients undergoing treatment with cerament G compared to those with partial calcanectomy alone by measuring wound volume
