Retrospective analysis of Modified Brostrom repair for Anterior Talo-fibular Ligament (ATFL) tear in chronic lateral ankle instability
Journal Title: Hong Kong Journal of Orthopaedic Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Sports injuries causing ankle sprain is the most common cause of isolated tear of anterior talo fibular ligament (ATFL). Present study retrospectively analyses the results of surgical management of ATFL tear by modified Brostrom technique. Materials and Method: 15 patients who had chronic ankle instability and underwent surgical repair of ATFL were included in the retrospective analysis study, follow up was done for two years. Diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical and radiological (Talar Tilt Stress xrays and MRI) examination. Results: Modified Brostrom-Gould repair technique was used in surgery. Mean follow-up duration was two years (range 1.5 – 2.5), mean foot and ankle outcome score was 94 (range 88-100). Conclusion: Results of this study support that surgical repair of ATFL done with Brostrom (Gould Modification) technique has high rate of success and good patient satisfaction. We recommend using it in high grade complete ATFL tear patients to re-establish the lateral ankle stability.
