Ankle tape study shows promise for chronic instability
NCT ID NCT06829667
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked back at medical records of 103 people who had surgery for chronic ankle instability. Surgeons used a special suture tape (Arthrex InternalBrace) to reinforce the repaired ligament. The goal was to see how safe and effective the tape is by tracking complications like implant failure or infection. Results could help doctors decide if this device is a good option for ankle ligament repair.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Arthrex InternalBrace (suture tape and bone anchors)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that suture tape is a safe and effective option for repairing ankle ligaments, helping people with chronic ankle instability.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective review, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. The device has shown mixed results in past studies, and complications like implant failure or infection are possible.
