The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate pre- and post-operative patient reported outcomes and functional scores after open non-augmented Broström repair or open Broström repair augmented with the BioBrace Implant.
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized (1:1) interventional study investigating the use of the BioBrace® Implant in lateral ankle ligament repair procedures performed using the Broström technique. Eligible participants who meet study criteria will be enrolled and randomized into one of two study arms: Control Group: Open standard Broström repair of the lateral ankle Treatment Group: Open Broström repair of the lateral ankle using a suture-anchor construct augmented with the BioBrace® Implant. Both groups will be immobilized for 2 weeks and then will undergo standard accelerated re…
