Comparison of Modified Broström Repair + Suture Tape and Modified Broström Repair for Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability : A Prospective Cohort Study

Overview

GJL is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an MBR for CLAI. Additional suture tape augmentation has been suggested to provide more strength and stability. However, the outcomes of the MBP with suture tape augmentation were unknown, which requires further exploration.

Detailed description

Generalized joint laxity (GJL) is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an open modified Broström repair (MBR) for chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). MBR with suture tape augmentation may provide more strength and stability. However, BPR with suture tape augmentation may lead to rejection of the suture tape. In addition, the outcomes of the MBP with suture tape augmentation were unknown.

Interventions

  • Procedure Modified Broström procedure + Suture tape augmentation operation
    Patients with CLAI and GJL will accept the Modified Broström + Suture tape augmentation operation
  • Procedure Modified Broström procedure operation
    Patients with CLAI and GJL will accept the Modified Broström procedure operation

Primary outcome measures

  • The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score [Time frame: postoperative AOFAS score at 1 year]
  • The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score [Time frame: postoperative AOFAS score at 2 years]
  • The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score [Time frame: postoperative AOFAS score at 6 months]
  • The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score [Time frame: postoperative AOFAS score at 3 months]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Anterior displacement and talar tilt angle in stress radiography [Time frame: postoperative radiographic measures at 2 years]
  • Rate of re-injury [Time frame: the rate of re-injury at 2 years]
