Abstract:
Purpose:This study assessed the clinical outcomes of a modified Broström operation using all-suture anchors for patients with chronic lateral ankle instability.
Methods:A comprehensive analysis was conducted on 22 cases with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Karlsson scores and Sefton’s grading system.
Results:Significant improvement was observed in patients’ symptoms postoperatively. Karlsson scores increased markedly from preoperative levels, indicating substantial clinical improvement. Most patients (20 of 22, 90.9%) were categorized as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ according to Sefton’s grading. There was no anchor related complication.
Conclusion:The modified Broström operation employing all-suture anchors demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes for patients with chronic lateral ankle instability. This technique can be promising alternative for traditional modified Broström operation, offering improved stability and symptom relief.
