ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two different surgical methods for treating ankle sprains and instability. The two procedures being studied are the modified Broström operation and anatomical reconstruction. Researchers want to see which method leads to better recovery and fewer problems for patients suffering from chronic ankle instability.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between 18 and 60 years old and have been diagnosed with ongoing lateral ankle pain and instability. Those who have recently injured their ankle, have specific ligament injuries, or certain other conditions will not be eligible. Participants can expect to receive either of the two surgical procedures and will be monitored to assess their recovery over time. This trial is currently recruiting participants of all genders. If you or someone you know is dealing with chronic ankle issues, this could be an opportunity to receive specialized care while contributing to important research.
