Chronic lateral ankle instability

modified technique

Abstract

Objective: The general objective of this study is to determine the results of the technique using the AOFAS scale and radiographs. of Broström-Gould modified with anchors in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability in the INR in a period comprised of 2008-2016. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, prospective, descriptive study with INR patients who had the diagnosis of chronic lateral ankle instability managed using the Broström -Gould procedure modified with anchors. Results: 13 were in follow-up, 1 man and 12 women, with an average age of 38 years (±13), with predominance of the left ankle 7 (54%) over the right 6 (46%). On the AOFAS scale, the pre-surgical average obtained was 39.3 (±13.1) compared to the 6-month post-surgery of 73.4 (±18). Conclusion: The use of anchors combined with the modified Broström-Gould technique with anchors is a simple and effective alternative that allows the replacement or repair of the anterior peroneal and peroneocalcaneal fibular ligaments.
