Keyhole surgery vs traditional repair: which works better for unstable ankles?
NCT ID NCT02998333
Summary
This study compared two standard surgical methods for repairing chronically unstable ankles. Researchers wanted to see if a less invasive 'keyhole' (arthroscopic) approach leads to better recovery than traditional open surgery. They randomly assigned 41 adults with long-term ankle instability to receive one of the two procedures and tracked their pain, function, and ankle stability for six months.
