Brostrom repair with BioBrace for chronic ankle instability
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
