Arthroscopic thermal capsular shrinkage: a successful treatment option for patients with chronic lateral ankle instability?

چکیده
Methods Data was collected from 26 patients (12 males, 12 right ankles, mean age 32.88 years) from November 2004 to March 2011. 20 patients were available for follow up. Preoperative MRI scans and stress radiographs were taken. The patients were all assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) anklehindfoot scale, Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire, EuroQol and the Visual Analogue Scale Foot and Ankle. Reviews were held at an average of 27.4 months postoperatively.

Arthroscopic Capsular Shrinkage for Treatment of Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability
BACKGROUND Capsular shrinkage is an arthroscopic stabilization technique that can be used in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI), if desired in addition to primary arthroscopic procedures. Despite positive short-term results, long-term follow-up of these patients has not yet been performed. Therefore, our objective was to assess whether capsular shrinkage still provided functional out...

Ankle sprain is a common type of sports injury that may cause chronic ankle instability in approximately20 30% of cases. Patients typically suffer from pain, recurrent ankle sprains and swelling of the ankle. In the long run, 20 30% of chronic ankle instability patients will develop ankle arthritis. To enable appropriate sufficient early treatment, a contemporary diagnosis is required, which in...
متن کاملArthroscopic thermal capsulorrhaphy as treatment for the unstable paralytic shoulder.
Patients who present with global capsular laxity and glenohumeral instability frequently can be treated successfully with shoulder girdle musculature strengthening exercises and activity modification. When such injury is caused by a paralytic shoulder, a rehabilitation program may not be a viable treatment option. Presented in this article are 3 patients with global capsular laxity and glenohum...
متن کاملArthroscopic extracapsular plication to treat multidirectional instability of the shoulder.
Successful arthroscopic treatment of multidirectional shoulder instability requires that the surgeon reduce the volume of the capsule. This goal can be achieved by using the extracapsular plication technique. There are several advantages to using pancapsular plication and an intra-articular knot. Much better potential for capsular healing exists when the outer layer of the capsule, which is com...
متن کاملArthroscopic repair of chronic lateral ankle instability.
BACKGROUND The current "gold standard'' for treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability is the Broström-Gould procedure. Most authors recommend this type of operation even after an arthroscopic inspection of the joint. We review our results with an arthroscopic method of lateral ankle ligament repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS A method of arthroscopic lateral ligament repair with an anchor pla...
