Internal Brace Augmented Anterior Inferior Tibiofibular Ligament Repair: Post-operative Syndesmotic Volumes.
January 17, 2023 updated by: Blake E. Moore, MD, Vann Virginia Center for Orthopaedics dba Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists
Internal Brace Augmented Anterior Inferior Tibiofibular Ligament Repair and Its Post-operative Effects on Syndesmotic Volumes: A Prospective, Single-blinded, Randomized Study
Over the course of a year from the start of the research study, twenty subjects will be randomized evenly into one of two groups after an informed consent is obtained: a traditional tight rope fixation group or a tight rope fixation with an anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) repair augmentation with an internal brace group.
Subjects in both groups will acquire a bilateral WBCT pre-operatively and 6 weeks post-operatively at Atlantic Orthopaedic Specialists office.
A within group statistical analyses will compare the volume of the syndesmosis acquired by the WBCT at 6 weeks.

36-Item Short Form Survey
Time Frame: preoperative
|
The SF-36 is a health-related quality-of-life questionnaire consisting of 36 questions that measure eight health domains to assess physical and mental health.
Scores are 00-100.
Higher scores equate to better quality of life and inverse for lower scores.

Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS)
Time Frame: preoperative
|
FAOS consists of 5 subscales; Pain, other Symptoms, Function in daily living (ADL), Function in sport and recreation (Sport(Rec), and foot and ankle-related Quality of Life (QOL).
The last week is taken into consideration when answering the questionnaire.
Standardized answer options are given (% Likert boxes) and each question gets a score from 0 to 4. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.
The result can be plotted as an outcome profile.
