This trial tests whether compression therapy helps control swelling after an ankle injury or surgery. If you're being treated for an ankle fracture or certain foot surgeries, this study may help improve your recovery.
This trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
This trial tests if using diluted epinephrine (a drug that shrinks blood vessels) can reduce bleeding during ankle surgery just as well as using a tourniquet (a tight band that stops blood flow). The goal is to improve the surgeon's view without needing a tourniquet, which may be more comfortable for you.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device placed on the skin around the ankle can help recovery after ankle fracture surgery. It may reduce pain, swelling, and healing time.
This trial compares tourniquet use during ankle fracture surgery. It looks at outcomes for patients with a simple (closed) ankle fracture caused by a ground-level fall who are having metal plates and screws placed.
This trial compares different anesthesia techniques to see which one helps patients recover faster after minimally invasive ankle surgery. It may help you wake up and feel better sooner after the procedure.
