Active clinical trials for "Ankle Injuries"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of diclofenac potassium 25 mg tablet compared with placebo taken three times a day in subjects with acute ankle sprains under 'in-use' conditions, in particular with regard to pain relief.

Until now very few studies have been done to compare the efficacy of tubigrips or plaster of paris in the treatment of lateral ankle sprains, the investigators aim to compare the tubigrip against plaster of paris in the treatment of lateral ankle sprains.

Treatment of syndesmotic injury with Weber C fracture. A randomized study comparing ZipTight suture endobutton and one tricortical 3,5 mm syndesmotic screw.

The objective of this trial is to demonstrate that the functional outcome of 'removal on demand' of the syndesmotic screw is non-inferior compared to routine removal of the syndesmotic screw in patients with an ankle fracture.

The purpose of the study is to compare functional outcomes and recovery following surgical and non surgical treatment of potentially unstable , isolated fibula fractures. Secondary objectives are to compare the re-operation rate, time to union and complications between the two treatment groups. The primary research questions: Does surgery provide a better functional outcome compared to non operative treatment of undisplaced, unstable fractures? Do patients with these fractures return to activities faster after operative or non operative treatment? Are complications more common with operative or non operative care?

Ankle joint self mobilization.

The purpose of this study is to determine if use of new imaging technology termed "3D fluoroscopy" will lead the surgeon to change the position of the fractured bones to a more accurate position.

This study is based on human anatomical data and uses computer-aided engineering (CAE) software such as biomedical image processing software, reverse engineering software, CAD software, and finite element analysis software to create a three-dimensional bracing model. With the help of 3D printing technology, we have developed personalized brace, completed the personalized rapid design and optimization of the three series of support equipment products such as the posterior cruciate ligament brace, ankle ankle brace, and shoulder brace.

Chronic ankle instability is a complex condition. Limited mobility, perceived instability, and recurrent ankle sprains are common characteristics that reduce the quality of life in subjects who suffer chronic ankle instability. Neuromuscular training and strength training has been recommended in chronic ankle instability management interventions. However, there are contradictory findings on results when comparing neuromuscular training, strength training, and control group.

The device to be tested (fireflyTM) stimulates the common peroneal nerve and causes the foot to twitch, and has been shown to increase blood flow. The device is also indicated for the treatment of oedema. In this study the investigators intend to assess the use of the device as an adjunctive therapy for people recovering from grade 1 and 2 ankle sprains.
