Open Brostrom for Lateral Ligament Stabilization

Modified incision for Brostrom lateral ligament reconstruction of the ankle.

PURPOSE To describe a modified incision for the Brostrom procedure to correct lateral ankle instability. METHODS 14 men and 12 women aged 23 to 38 (mean, 27) years with lateral ankle instability underwent the Brostrom procedure with a modified incision to repair both the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments, without endangering the sural or superficial peroneal nerves. The incis...

Modified Brostrom-Evans-Gould technique for recurrent lateral ankle ligament instability.

PURPOSE To review the outcome of the modified Brostrom-Evans-Gould technique in patients with chronic lateral ankle ligament instability. METHODS Between August 2003 and June 2005, 20 men aged 19 to 35 (mean, 23) years with chronic lateral instability affecting 21 ankles, underwent the modified Brostrom-Evans-Gould technique by a single surgeon. The mean follow-up period was 12 (range, 6-20) ...

Ankle lateral ligament reconstruction for chronic instability.

PURPOSE To report the outcome of a technique combining direct anatomic reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) with augmented reconstruction using the peroneus brevis tendon fixed by a bio-absorbable interference screw. METHODS 13 men and 2 women aged 17 to 36 (mean, 24) years with recurrent inversion injuries of the right (n=5) and left (n=10) ankles underwent lateral ankl...

Long-term results after modified Brostrom procedure without calcaneofibular ligament reconstruction.

BACKGROUND The short-term results of modified Brostrom procedures (MBP) have been satisfactory. However, the long-term results of anatomical reconstruction have been less frequently reported. We report on our long-term results in our patient group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients with chronic ankle instability who were treated using the MBP without CFL reconstruction from March 1997 to ...
