Abstract
Purpose: The Brostrom-Gould procedure has been considered as a gold standard operative technique for chronic lateral ankle instability. Despite the popularity and excellent outcomes of the modified Brostrom procedure, some patients still experience recurrence of ankle instability. Few studies reported outcomes of revision reconstruction for patients with a failed modified Brostrom procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a percutaneous anatomic revision lateral ankle ligament reconstruction for patients with a failed modified Brostrom procedure.
Methods: From March 2017 to April 2020, 21 patients with persistent ankle instability after a modified Brostrom procedure underwent revision lateral ankle ligament reconstruction. The operation was performed through minimally invasive incisions. Functional assessment was performed using the Karlsson-Peterson ankle scoring system (KP) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The questionnaires of KP and VAS were completed before surgery and at the last follow-up. Patients' subjective satisfaction level was graded as excellent, good, fair, and poor. Preoperative and postoperative anterior talar displacement and varus talus tilt angle in stress radiographs were recorded.
Results: The average age at the revision surgery time was 39.6years. The mean follow-up was 39.2months. The VAS score improved from 4.1 ± 1.5 preoperatively to 1.3 ± 1.3 at the final follow-up (p < .05). The KP score improved from 59.0 ± 20.2 preoperatively to 88.2 ± 9.6 at the last follow-up (p < .05). The mean varus talar tilt angle was 14.1 ± 3.9 mm preoperatively versus 4.9 ± 4.7 mm at the final follow-up (p < .05). The mean anterior talar displacement was 12.8 ± 2.2 mm versus 5.6 ± 3.7 mm at the last follow-up (p < .05).
Conclusions: The revision anatomic reconstruction of the lateral ligaments of the ankle is effective for patients with recurrent instability after a failed modified Broström procedure.
