Recruiting studies
- NCT05413707Recruiting
CT-measured ankle fracture study for specific break pattern
This study looks at adults with a specific type of ankle fracture involving the back part of the ankle bone (posterior malleolus) plus a certain side fracture. It uses CT scan measurements to guide how the fracture is classified and studied, and it requires you to be willing and able to follow study instructions.
Bergen, VestlandAges 18–65 - NCT06085586Recruiting
Fibulink implant for ankle fracture with torn ligament, early weight bearing
This trial tests a new surgical implant system (Fibulink) for repairing a torn ligament between the shin bones (syndesmosis) along with an ankle fracture. The goal is to allow you to put weight on your foot earlier than usual after surgery.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT06293469Recruiting
Speeding up flap surgery for severe leg injuries
This trial tests whether performing flap surgery sooner after a severe leg injury below the knee leads to better outcomes. If you have an open fracture or dislocation that needs a flap, you may be able to join.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06452186Recruiting
Study of a new leg prosthetic controller for improved balance
This study tests a new prosthetic leg controller that helps people with below-knee amputations walk more steadily and with better balance. You may be eligible if you have used a prosthetic leg for at least a year and are comfortable walking in the community.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT06465290Recruiting
Brain recovery treatment for recent stroke with ankle stiffness
This trial tests a treatment to help your brain recover after a stroke. It focuses on improving ankle movement and leg strength using exercises that promote brain rewiring.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–85 - NCT07145645RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing topical diclofenac to oral ibuprofen for pain from ankle or knee injuries in children
This study compares a topical gel (diclofenac) applied directly to the injury site versus an oral medication (ibuprofen) taken by mouth to see which works better for treating pain from ankle or knee injuries in children. It may offer a way to relieve pain without a pill.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 6–18 - NCT05555459Recruiting
Testing a screw system for foot and ankle surgery
This study checks how safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
TampereAges 18 years+ - NCT05445960Recruiting
Tourniquet use during ankle surgery and recovery outcomes
This study looks at whether using a tourniquet during ankle fracture surgery affects healing, leg movement, and patient-reported recovery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable approach for surgery.
Portland, OregonAges 18–89 - NCT06596174Recruiting
Spinal stimulation and ankle training for spinal cord injury
This trial tests if adding a non-invasive spinal stimulation technique to ankle movement training can improve recovery in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It might be relevant if you have had a spinal cord injury for more than a year and are not on certain medications.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT06596187Recruiting
Study of muscle tightness in spinal cord injury and Parkinson's
This study looks at muscle tightness (hypertonia) in people with spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand and measure different types of stiffness to improve treatments.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT05644522Recruiting
At-home brace study for leg support and walking
This study tests an at-home wearable activity monitor and brace-related walking support for people who already use a knee-ankle-foot brace. It may help researchers understand how brace use and day-to-day movement relate to walking ability.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–89 - NCT06828653Recruiting
Comparing 3D-printed vs standard ankle braces for walking
This study compares custom-made ankle-foot braces made with a digital 3D printing method versus the traditional plaster cast method. It aims to find out which type is more comfortable and effective for people with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury who need a brace to help them walk better.
Mississauga, OntarioAges 8 years+ - NCT07090057Recruiting
Targeting the plantaris muscle in ankle surgery for children
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 4–17 - NCT06078371Recruiting
Opioid-free pain treatment after broken bone surgery
This study compares standard pain treatment using opioids to a new opioid-free pain block for people who had surgery for broken bones. The goal is to find safer, non-addictive ways to manage pain after trauma.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ankle injuries?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 38 recruiting ankle injuries studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a ankle injuries trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a ankle injuries trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
