BACKGROUND: Lateral ankle instability is not uncommon after osseous cuts and soft tissue releases are performed during Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA), particularly with varus malalignment. The purpose of the present study was to compare the outcomes of ankles that underwent TAA with concurrent Brostrom-Gould (BG) or Anatomic Lateral Ankle Stabilization (ATLAS) at a minimum of 1-year follow-up. METHODS: Thirty-eight TAAs underwent BG (21 INFINITY, 4 CADENCE) or ATLAS (13 INBONE-2) between August 2015 and February 2019 at a single institution and were at least 1 year postoperative (mean 18...

The purpose of the present study was to assess the early clinical and radiographic outcomes for patients who underwent TAA and Anatomic Lateral Ankle Stabilization (ATLAS) using synthetic graft for instability in moderate and severe preoperative varus alignment. Seven ankles with moderate or severe varus alignment underwent TAA with a 3rd generation prothesis (INBONE-2) and ATLAS using synthetic graft between September 2018 and February 2019 at a single institution, and were at least 1 year postoperative (mean 13...

BACKGROUND: The open Broström-Gould procedure for the repair of lateral ankle ligament remains the gold standard in operative management of chronic ankle instability. Nevertheless, the arthroscopic technique has been gaining attention among foot and ankle surgeons in the past decade. Our study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent the arthroscopic and open Brostom-Gould technique over a 12-month follow-up period. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the database in a tertiary hospital foot and ankle registry from 2015 to 2019...

Ankle injuries occur frequently in sports. The lateral ligamentous complex, specifically the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments, are most commonly injured. In acute lateral ligament injuries, a functional ankle rehabilitation program is the mainstay of treatment. Chronic ankle instability develops in a minority of patients. Surgical procedures are broadly classified into anatomic ligament repairs versus reconstructive tenodeses. Commonly performed techniques include the Brostrom-Gould procedure,the modified Brostrum-Evans procedure, and the Chrisman-Snook procedure...
