Fibulink implant for ankle fracture with torn ligament, early weight bearing
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken ankle that also injured a ligament connecting your shin bones (syndesmosis)
- You have not had surgery on the same ankle before
- You do not have an active infection or open wound near your ankle
- Your fracture is not open (bone came through the skin)
- You are not pregnant

This study compares two different surgical devices used to fix a torn ankle ligament (called the syndesmosis) after an ankle fracture. If you may need surgery for this specific injury, the results could help show which device leads to better recovery.
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.
This trial studies how best to manage serious ankle or tibia-pilon fractures in older adults who may be frail or have other major health problems. The goal is to improve care decisions and outcomes after injury, especially in people more likely to have complications.
This trial compares two rehabilitation plans after ankle surgery: starting weight bearing sooner versus later. It may help people with diabetes heal safely and reduce complications related to healing and foot sensation.
This study looks at how well a special locking nail works for ankle fractures in patients with skin problems or injuries that make standard surgery risky. It aims to find out who benefits most from this less invasive method.
This trial tests whether a flexible suture button works better than a metal screw to repair the torn ligament that holds the shin and calf bones together at the ankle. It is for adults with certain types of unstable ankle fractures or ligament injuries.
