NCT ID NCT05209347
First seen Jan 15, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study aimed to see if custom carbon fiber braces could reduce forces on the ankle joint after a fracture, potentially lowering the risk of arthritis. It planned to enroll adults with healed ankle fractures and test different brace designs. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.
