BioBrace® in Arthroscopic Brostrom Lateral Ankle Ligament Repair
brief summary
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate pre- and post-operative patient reported outcomes and functional scores after an all-arthroscopic Brostrom repair using either a suture anchor construct alone or suture anchors with the BioBrace Implant.
detailed description
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized (1:1) interventional study investigating the use of the BioBrace® Implant in lateral ankle ligament repair procedures performed using an all-arthroscopic Broström technique. Eligible participants who meet study criteria will be enrolled and randomized into one of two study arms:
Control Group: Arthroscopic Broström repair using a suture-anchor construct only.
Treatment Group: Arthroscopic Broström repair using a suture-anchor construct augmented with the BioBrace® Implant.
Clinical evaluations will be conducted at baseline (preoperatively), and postoperatively at 1, 3, and 6 weeks, as well as at 3, 6, and 12 months using various patient-reported outcome measures to asses pain, function, activity and safety post surgery.
