Surgical management of chronic lateral ankle instability: A meta-analysis
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research Jun 28, 2018
Yongxing Cao, et al. Authors conducted this meta-analysis to compare different surgical techniques for management of chronic lateral ankle instability. In order to support any one surgical technique over another surgical technique for chronic lateral ankle instability, there is limited evidence, but still following conclusions were made: 1. Experts noted limitations to the use of dynamic tenodesis, which obtained poor clinical satisfaction and more subsequent sprains. 2. Non-anatomic reconstruction abnormally increased inversion stiffness at the subtalar level as compared with anatomic repairment. 3. Good clinical results could be acquired with multiple types of modified Brostrom procedures. 4. For some specific patients, anatomic reconstruction is a better procedure.
