Article 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 ( < .05). The KP score improved from 59.0 ± 20.2 preoperatively to 88.2 ± 9.6 at the last follow-up ( < .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 ( < .05). The mean anterior talar displacement was 12.8 ± 2.2 mm versus 5.6 ± 3.7 mm at the last follow-up ( < .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.

Clinical Outcomes and Sports Participation After the Modified Broström Procedure in Children and Adolescents With Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability: A 5- to 10-Year Follow-up of 111 Cases.

Background: Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) can severely impair sports performance and functional mobility in children and adolescents, necessitating surgical interventions such as the modified Broström procedure. However, midterm to long-term clinical outcomes and sports participation after this procedure remain inconclusive.
Purpose: To investigate the midterm to long-term clinical outcomes and analyze the reasons and risk factors for failure to participate at preinjury sports levels after the modified Broström procedure in children and adolescents with CLAI.

Background: Broström-Gould surgery is the gold standard operative treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability. In cases of failed nonoperative treatment, the Broström-Gould repair aims to improve lateral ankle stability via anatomic repair and the overlapping of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament, with reinforcement of the ATFL by the extensor retinaculum. Lateral ankle ligament injuries typically present with additional pathologies, including hindfoot varus, peroneal tendon lesions, and tarsal coalition.

Ankle sprains commonly damage the lateral compartment of the tibiotalar and subtalar joint. The presence of functional or mechanical instability leads to long term dysfunction of patients due to ankle laxity. The gold standard surgical procedure for chronic ankle instability is repair of the anterior talofibular and/or calcaneofibular ligaments with imbrication of the inferior extensor retinaculum.

Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a prevalent condition often treated with the Broström procedure, sometimes modified by Gould. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing the Broström procedure with and without the Gould modification, focusing on the implications for CAI management.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, Wiley Library, Science Direct, Europe PMC, and Scopus for studies comparing the Broström procedure with and without the Gould modification.

Background: Ankle sprains are the most frequent musculoskeletal injury in sports. Patients reporting pain at the lateral malleolus tip following ankle sprains or sports activities frequently have separated ossicles, referred to as an os subfibulare (OSF). Commonly, small ossicles accompanied by chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) are treated with ossicle resection combined with the modified Broström operation (MBO).
