Study summary

To compare the clinical outcomes of CAI patients with and without lateral ankle avulsion fracture after ligament repair/reconstruction, and to analyze the risk factors associated with the outcome.

Read the detailed description

80 patients with external ankle ligament injury without avulsion fracture and 40 patients with external ankle ligament injury combined with avulsion fracture were treated by surgery in our department. The outcomes included Karlsson score, VAS, AOFAS and Tegner score. The outcomes were compared between the two groups, and the risk factors were analyzed.

Study population

Patients with chronic lateral ankle instability with or without lateral ankle avulsion fracture meeting surgical indications.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age 18-60 years old
  2. Chronic pain or instability in the ankle, injury to the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle determined by MRI examination of the ankle, and distal avulsion fracture of the fibula indicated by CT examination.
  3. Patients with poor results after more than 3 months of conservative treatment with rest/topical/oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
  4. Patients voluntarily participate in clinical trials, sign , and can cooperate with clinical follow-up

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Persons who have participated in clinical trials of other drugs or medical devices within the last 6 months
  2. Malalignment of ankle joint force (varus or valgus >5 degrees)
  3. Chronic specific synovitis (rheumatoid, pigmented villonodular synovitis, etc.)
  4. Patients with joint fibrosis, joint stiffness, and obvious limited movemente. Moderate to severe osteoarthritis (Takakura stage III or IV)

f. Patients with to MRI g. Hemophiliacs h. Patients with systemic conditions that cannot tolerate surgery

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Karlsson score

    The Karlsson score consists of seven questions covering ankle pain, swelling, levels of daily activity and exercise .et al,provided by the patient with objective scores. The minimum and maximum values of Karlsson are 0 and 100, respectively. And higher scores mean a better outcome

    Time frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is designed to present to the respondent a rating scale with minimum constraints. Respondents mark the location on the 10-centimeter line corresponding to the amount of pain they experienced. This gives them the greatest freedom to choose their pain's exact intensity. It also gives the maximum opportunity for each respondent to express a personal response style. The minimum and maximum values of VAS are 10 and 0, respectively. And higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years

  2. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS)

    The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Ankle-Hindfoot Score combines subjective scores of pain and function provided by the patient with objective scores based on the surgeon's physical examination of the patient (to assess sagittal motion, hindfoot motion, ankle-hindfoot stability and alignment of the ankle-hindfoot). The scale includes nine items that can be divided into three subscales (pain, function and alignment). The minimum and maximum values of AOFAS are 100 and 0, respectively. And higher scores mean a better outcome.

    Time frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years

  3. Tegner Scale

    The Tegner Scale is a tool commonly used to assess the degree of sports injury and the degree of functional recovery, which is graded according to the level of motor activity a participant participates in and the gradual increase in requirements. It is graded on a scale of 0 to 10, with the specific meanings.

    Time frame: 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years
