Lan S, Zeng W, Yuan G, et al. - In order to find out the surgical technique and clinical outcome of all-inside arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament anatomic reconstruction with a gracilis tendon autograft for chronic ankle instability in high-demand patients, researchers examined a total of 15 individuals (14 [93.3%] males and 1 [6.7%] female, mean age 31.9 ± 7.8 [range 21 to 48] years) with chronic ankle instability. The functional assessment was performed according to the Ankle-Hindfoot Score by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, Sefton grading system, and visual analog scale score at the final follow-up. The results of this study indicated that all-inside arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament anatomic reconstruction with a gracilis tendon was found to be an effective treatment for chronic ankle instability in high-demand individuals.
