This study presents a modified Brostrom procedure using an implantable anchoring system to treat chronic lateral ankle instability. This surgical modification simplifies ligament repair, offering a faster, easier approach for surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Chronic lateral ankle instability is a common condition often resulting from repeated ankle sprains.
  • The traditional Brostrom procedure is a well-established surgical technique for repairing ankle ligaments.
  • Existing methods may present challenges in terms of complexity and operative time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel modification of the Brostrom procedure for treating chronic lateral ankle instability.
  • To describe a technique that simplifies the surgical repair of injured ankle capsular and ligamentous structures.
  • To present an alternative surgical option that is both rapid and straightforward.

Main Methods:

  • The modified technique utilizes an implantable anchoring system.
