Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This 20-year cohort study foolows patients after ankle ligament reconstruction surgery to evaluate re-rupture rates, long term functional outcomes, return to sport rates ans complications? The goal is to provide insights into the procedure's durability and effectiveness to enhance patient care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a long term cohort analysis involving patient who have undergone ankle ligament reconstruction surgery (ligamentoplasty). The goal is to follow these patients over 20 year period to assess several important outcomes. Specifically, the study aims to evaluate the rate of re-ruptures, the rates and quality of return to sport, long term functional outcomes using validated scoring systems and the incidence of complications related to the procedure.

By collecting detailed and consistent data over two decades, the research seeks to provide valuable insights into the durability and effectiveness of ankle ligament reconstruction surgery, contributing to a better understanding and improved care for patients

Interventions

Ligament reconstruction

Retensioning involves restoring the tension in a ligament or soft tissue that has become lax, often due to injury or joint instability. This technique is typically used for ligaments that do not require complete reconstruction but have lost their functional tension. Ligament reconstruction is a surgical procedure to replace or repair a damaged ligament, often using grafts (autografts or allografts). It aims to restore joint stability and function, particularly in cases of significant ligament damage or rupture. Syndesmosis surgery involves repairing or reconstructing the fibrous joint between two bones (e.g., the tibia and fibula). It may involve screw fixation, suture-button devices, or grafts to restore the alignment and stability of the syndesmosis.
