The Clinical Outcomes Comparing the Modified Broström vs Anatomic Reconstruction Operation in Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability and Generalized Joint Laxity

Investigators designed this prospective cohort study to compare the clinical outcomes of modified Broström operation and anatomical reconstruction for the treatment of CLAI and GJL.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The modified Broström operation is still the first line to treat chronic lateral ligament instability (CLAI). However, some studies indicate the modified Broström operation may bring a higher rate of re-injury in generalized joint laxity (GJL). Anatomical reconstruction was reported to generate similar results and less rate of re-injury compared in patients with CLAI. However, the clinical outcomes of the two operations are not discussed in CLAI and GJL. So, investigators designed this prospective cohort study. The primary outcomes are Karlsson, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) scores. The secondary outcomes are anterior displacement and talar tilt angle in stress radiography, the rate of re-injury.

Study Population

The patients who go to visit a doctor for persistent lateral ankle pain and instability over three months and invalid conservative treatment, with the age of 16- 50 years. If the Beighton score of the patient is ≥4 and the exclusion criteria are met, he or she is going to be advised to participate in this study.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Clinical diagnosis of lateral ankle pain and instability Beighton score ≥4 Age with 18 to 60 years

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients with an acute or subacute ankle injury (within 3 months) Injury of the deltoid ligament Alignment of lower extremity greater than 5 degrees Fractures of the lower extremity Stage III or IV osteoarthritis Patients who refused to participate in the study
