BioBrace for Arthroscopic Ankle Ligament Repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is for people who need a first-time arthroscopic Brostrom repair to fix a loose ankle ligament. It uses a special material called BioBrace to help the repair heal better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether adding a BioBrace scaffold to standard Brostrom surgery improves outcomes for people with chronic ankle instability. It may help if you have had a weak or unstable ankle for more than 3 months and haven't had prior ankle surgery.
This trial tests a special gel placed during ankle ligament repair surgery to see if it prevents painful scar tissue from forming. It might help people with chronic ankle sprains who need surgery.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to fix chronic ankle instability. It is for people with ongoing ankle weakness, multiple sprains, or loose ligaments who have not had ankle surgery before.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to treat ongoing ankle “giving way” or instability. It aims to find which method works better for people whose ankle instability has lasted at least several months.
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 compares two ways to surgically stabilize an ankle that feels unstable and causes pain. It may help patients by identifying which technique leads to better ankle function and outcomes.
