Ankle surgery outcomes under the microscope
NCT ID NCT06599554
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study reviewed medical records of 107 patients who had surgery for a broken ankle (distal fibula fracture) using metal plates. Researchers looked at X-rays to see when the bone healed and asked patients about their function and pain one year after surgery. The goal was to better understand recovery and complications, not to test a new treatment.
