Summary: In the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability, suture tape (ST) augmentation allows for earlier return to preinjury level of activity compared to traditional modified Brostrom (MB) procedure. ST augmentation may also support successful accelerated rehabilitation without increasing complications or morbidity.

Summary: Modified Brostrom surgery with suture tape augmentation shows good short-term clinical outcomes and improvement in patient-reported outcome measures for chronic lateral ankle instability, with comparable complication rates to Modified Brostrom surgery alone.

Summary: This study compared the clinical effects of using one-anchor modified Mason-Allen suture and two-anchor horizontal mattress suture for treating chronic ankle instability (CAI) patients. The results showed that both techniques had comparable clinical outcomes in the treatment of CAI at intermediate-term follow-up time.

Summary: The augmentation with a suture tape construct significantly improves the strength and durability of the Brostrom lateral ankle ligament repair, allowing for a more aggressive rehabilitation program and earlier return to sports without compromising the primary repair.

Summary: The study found that using suture tape augmentation for lateral ankle instability resulted in excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes, comparable to standard treatment. However, there was minimal evidence to suggest better functional outcomes or lower recurrence rates compared to modified Brostrom repair alone.

Summary: The study found that patient-reported outcome scores after lateral ankle stabilization in military servicemembers were lower than in civilian population. The addition of fibular periosteum augmentation and whether the procedure was performed by an orthopaedic surgeon or a podiatrist did not affect the outcomes.

Summary: Both open and arthroscopic modified Brostrom surgeries yielded favorable outcomes,with significant improvements compared to preoperative conditions. There were no significant differences in functional and clinical results between the arthroscopic and open groups, with arthroscopic repair having a shorter surgical duration.

Summary: Anatomic anterior talofibular ligament repair augmented with suture-tape is effective for chronic lateral ankle instability with poor quality of ligament remnants in intermediate-term followup. The surgical procedure improved clinical outcomes and mechanical stability, but some patients showed instability recurrence.

Summary: The definitive diagnosis and optimal surgical treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability remains controversial. available biomechanical evidence suggests that arthroscopic and open repair techniques are equivalent in their ability to restore ankle stability, but there is still insufficient evidence to consider any particular procedure as superior. Further research and comparative clinical trials are necessary to determine the optimal treatment for chronic lateral ankle instability.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the rate of return to preinjury activity level among physically active patients after undergoing the modified Brostrom procedure for recurrent lateral ankle instability. The majority of patients were satisfied with the surgery outcome, but not all patients successfully returned to their preinjury activity level, with non-ankle-related factors commonly cited as reasons for not returning.

Summary: In patients with chronic lateral ankle instability undergoing arthroscopic modified Brostrom procedure, the presence of limited osteochondral lesions did not have a significant impact on clinical outcomes. Functional scores improved at 1- and 2-year follow-up after surgery, with no significant difference between patients with and without osteochondral lesions.

Summary: The study compared the outcomes of patients treated for lateral ankle instability using either Brostrom repair alone or Brostrom repair with suture tape augmentation. The results showed that both methods had similar effectiveness in treating anterior talofibular ligament injuries, with no significant difference in patient-reported outcomes after a minimum of 2 years of follow-up.

Summary: A comparison study between open and arthroscopic Brostrom procedures for chronic lateral ankle instability showed that arthroscopic surgery had superior outcomes in postoperative AOFAS scores, VAS pain scores, and time to return to weightbearing, while operative time, complication rate, talar tilt, and anterior drawer tests were similar. Long-term clinical trials are needed before arthroscopic Brostrom can be recommended as the new gold standard.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the biomechanical role of the anterior and posterior components of the deltoid ligament in ankle stability and to evaluate the efficacy of simple suture versus augmented repair. The results showed that a complete deltoid tear caused severe ankle joint instability, but augmented anterior repair was sufficient to stabilize the tear without additional benefit from posterior repair. For isolated anterior tears, repair with tibiocalcaneal fusion was found to be the optimal treatment.

Summary: This study compared the proprioception and neuromuscular control ability of affected and unaffected ankles after the modified Brostrom procedure (MBP). The results showed that patients still had deficits in dynamic balance and time to peak torque at the time of return to sports.
