Not accepted
You may be eligible if
Patients between and including the age of 14-75 at the time of surgery
Patients who were diagnosed with lateral ankle instability by physician clinical assessment
Patients who underwent an ATFL repair with Arthrex InternalBrace augmentation device (does not require an isolated repair)
You may not be if
Significant secondary procedures done at the time of repair, including significant osteochondral lesions and/or significant microfracture of the talus or tibia that warrant modifying the typical lateral ligament repair post-op rehab protocol. (Minor microfractures and OCD lesions that do not warrant bone debridements, synovectomies, and bone spur removals are allowed)
Any concomitant orthopedic procedure that will extend the post-op rehabilitation (e.g., casting/immobilization) beyond the routinely prescribed rehab protocol following an ATFL reconstructive procedure.
Patients undergoing a Calcaneal osteotomy
Patients with less than 6 weeks follow-up
Patients with incomplete medical records
Patients with Worker's Compensation Cases
Any patient with a history of infection of the ankle predating the ankle repair
Any orthopedic issue outside of the ankle that the Investigator feels may impede functional endpoint outcome measures.
Patients who have a medical history that would likely make the patient an unreliable research participant
