Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Ankle Biomechanics

Background:

  • Chronic ankle instability is a common condition, particularly among military personnel.
  • Recurrent ankle sprains can lead to persistent pain, instability, and functional limitations.
  • Surgical intervention is often considered for cases refractory to conservative management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes of Watson-Jones Tenodesis for chronic ankle instability.
  • To assess the efficacy of this surgical technique in a cohort of military and civilian patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study design.
  • Inclusion of 23 patients (22 soldiers, 1 civilian) treated between May 1990 and May 1992.
  • Surgical procedure: Watson-Jones Tenodesis for chronic inversion instability of the ankle.

Main Results:

  • The study evaluated the results of Watson-Jones Tenodesis in patients with chronic ankle instability.
  • Outcomes were assessed retrospectively following the surgical intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Watson-Jones Tenodesis may offer a viable surgical option for chronic ankle instability.
  • Further research is warranted to fully elucidate long-term outcomes and patient-reported results.
