Retrospective Study of Suture Tape for Soft Tissue Reconstruction in Patients Suffering From Lateral Ankle Instability

Study Purpose

This study is intended to be a retrospective chart review of patients with chronic ankle instability who have undergone a lateral ligament reconstructive procedure for ATFL repair (isolated or non-isolated) with suture tape augmentation. Patients that have been treated at any of the participating institutions that have undergone an ATFL reconstruction with Arthrex InternalBrace augmentation who have postoperative hospital or ASC records of safety and effectiveness as measured by adverse events, potential complications, and potential functional outcomes past the 10-week time point will be included.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Observational
Eligible Ages 14 Years - 75 Years
Gender All
More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Patients between and including the age of 14-75 at the time of surgery.
  • - Patients who were diagnosed with lateral ankle instability by physician clinical assessment.
  • - Patients who underwent an ATFL repair with Arthrex InternalBrace augmentation device (does not require an isolated repair)

    Exclusion Criteria:

    - Significant secondary procedures done at the time of repair, including significant osteochondral lesions and/or significant microfracture of the talus or tibia that warrant modifying the typical lateral ligament repair post-op rehab protocol.
(Minor microfractures and OCD lesions that do not warrant bone debridements, synovectomies, and bone spur removals are allowed)
  • - Any concomitant orthopedic procedure that will extend the post-op rehabilitation (e.g., casting/immobilization) beyond the routinely prescribed rehab protocol following an ATFL reconstructive procedure.
  • - Patients undergoing a Calcaneal osteotomy.
  • - Patients with less than 6 weeks follow-up.
  • - Patients with incomplete medical records.
  • - Patients with Worker's Compensation Cases.
  • - Any patient with a history of infection of the ankle predating the ankle repair.
  • - Any orthopedic issue outside of the ankle that the Investigator feels may impede functional endpoint outcome measures.
- Patients who have a medical history that would likely make the patient an unreliable research participant

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06829667
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
