This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
Ankle fractures are a common injury with potentially significant morbidity. Syndesmosis injury occurs in 10% to 13% of ankle fractures and poses a greater risk to long-term outcomes for patients. The gold standard for syndesmosis fixation has traditionally been screw fixation. However, issues with screw fixation include screw breakage, screw loosening, reoperation, and malreduction. Due to growing concerns with static screw fixation, implants based on the flexible suture button design, such as the TightRope system, gained traction. The Fibulink Syndesmosis Repair System, a relatively new design that became clinically available in 2017, has showed promising results. To our knowledge, there is no study that directly compares outcomes with the Fibulink implant to suture button implants.
Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Clinical Outcomes of Patients Treated Surgically With Suture Button Versus Fibulink Fixation for Acute Ankle Syndesmosis Injuries
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
