Ramdass RS, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, 64 ankles in 62 individuals who underwent either a split peroneus brevis tendon (n = 36) or semitendinosus allograft tendon reconstruction (n = 28) for lateral ankle instability performed by the same surgeon were assessed in order to contrast the functional outcomes and patient satisfaction between anatomic and nonanatomic reconstruction of the lateral ankle ligament complex for lateral ankle instability. No notable variation between either technique was discovered by postoperative American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society and patient satisfaction. Results imply that for lateral ankle instability when the primary ligamentous repair is not achievable, both split peroneus brevis and semitendinosus allograft could be relevant alternatives.
