Testing recovery after ankle ligament surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.

This study follows patients for years after ankle surgery to see how well they return to sports. It compares two surgical techniques for chronic ankle instability caused by old sprains.
This trial is a study of people who have had ankle ligament surgery. It aims to learn more about how these surgeries work and help future patients.
This study looks at how well amateur athletes recover and return to sport after ACL reconstruction. If you had ACL surgery on one knee at least 6 months ago, you may be able to participate in simple functional tests to track your progress.
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
This trial studies how patients recover after ankle arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery to look inside the ankle joint). It may help doctors learn what to expect during recovery.
This study tests whether a special blood flow restriction device used during physical therapy helps people recover better after ankle ligament repair. You would do physical therapy as usual, but with a cuff on your upper leg that gently limits blood flow during exercises, which may help strengthen muscles more quickly.
