The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of a novel, bioresorbable hydrogel sheet and wetting solution, VersaWrap®, in surgeries of the foot and ankle. This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled case series with patients identified by the Investigator in his practice. Patients who are scheduled to have procedures of the Achilles tendon will be reviewed to determine if they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. If eligible, patients may be enrolled in the study, and the operative surgeon will use VersaWrap® during the procedure. Patients are considered enrolled when VersaWrap® is placed intraoperatively. VersaWrap® has received its FDA 510(k) clearance. Enrollment is expected to take approximately 1-2 years. All subjects will be followed for 1 year post-operatively for a total study duration of approximately 3 years. Study follow-up visits will occur at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. Patients enrolled in this study are receiving a standard of care surgical procedure (with or
without VersaWrap) and therefore there is no increased risk of the surgical procedure when participating in the study. The study collects patient data, and therefore there is a risk data privacy loss. Patients will also receive remuneration for their participation.

The APEX 3D™ Total Ankle Replacement System is intended to reduce pain and restore motion to a failing ankle joint due to rheumatoid, post-traumatic, or degenerative arthritis. In 2020, the APEX 3D™ Total Ankle Replacement System received 510(K) clearance from the FDA, demonstrating that the device is marketed as safe and effective. The primary objective of this research study is to determine implant survivorship. Enrollment is expected to take approximately one to two years. All subjects will be followed for ten years post-operatively. Study follow-up visits will occur at 6-weeks, 6-months, and annually for ten years after surgery. During the pre-operative visit and each follow-up visit, subjects will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires that assess their levels of pain, function, mobility, and quality of life. Comparison of pre-operative scores to post-operative scores can be used to assess the improvement in patient function, thus supporting the benefit and clinical performance of the intervention. As with any clinical research study, there is a risk of unintended personal health information disclosure.
