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 trial compares two different anesthesia methods (nerve blocks vs. general anesthesia) to see which helps people recover faster after ankle surgery. If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one method, and the study will track your pain, side effects, and how quickly you can go home.
This study tests whether a special test done 3 months after ankle ligament surgery helps people get back to sports more safely. It is for active adults who had surgery for chronic ankle instability.
This trial tests a new way to help people recover after ankle fracture surgery. Instead of only using paper leaflets or checkups, you would use a simple online video platform to follow an early exercise plan from home, which may help you move better and recover faster.
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 study looks at why some people develop nerve pain (neuropathic pain) after breaking their ankle and having surgery. If you have an ankle fracture that needs surgery, you may be able to join and help researchers understand this type of pain better.
