Study Overview
Brief Summary
The OL1000 is intended to be used as a non-invasive adjunctive treatment for adult males or females that have sustained a closed, unstable ankle fracture that requires surgical treatment for stabilization. The initiation of the adjunctive treatment is to begin within 11 days of surgical stabilization.
