Comparing two surgical methods for chronic ankle instability

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of the modified Broström operation and anatomical reconstruction for treating chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) and generalized joint laxity (GJL). It is a prospective cohort study that will assess primary outcomes using the Karlsson, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) scores. Secondary outcomes include measuring anterior displacement and talar tilt angle in stress radiography, as well as the rate of re-injury. The goal is to determine which surgical method yields better results for patients with these conditions.
