NCT ID NCT02470338
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study aimed to see if adding a routine ankle arthroscopy (a scope) to standard ligament repair surgery is necessary for people with chronic ankle instability. The researchers believed the scope might be an unnecessary extra step that increases costs, surgery time, and risks. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
