ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the recovery of patients with chronic ankle instability after they have had surgery to repair a specific ligament in the ankle. The goal is to understand how these patients return to sports and their overall experiences during recovery. The study is taking place at the European Center for Sports Rehabilitation in France and is currently looking for participants.

To be eligible for the trial, you need to be at least 15 years old and have undergone a specific type of surgery for ankle instability, which involves repairing the ligament using a tendon graft or special stitches. Participants will be asked to share some personal information to help researchers track their progress. It’s important to note that the study cannot include individuals who have had previous surgeries on the same ankle or have certain other complex injuries. If you join the study, you can expect regular check-ins to monitor your recovery and help improve future treatments for others with similar ankle issues.
