Ligament Repair in Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability: Efficacy and Technique of Broström Procedures / 대한족부족관절학회지

ABSTRACT

Chronic lateral ankle instability occurs in 10% to 20% of individuals after acute ankle sprain. The management of chronic lateral ankle instability is traditionally conservative treatment in the acute phase. On the other hand, surgical intervention is considered if conservative treatment fails and the symptoms are ongoing. This review focuses on the surgical approaches to treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability, including Broström surgical techniques, with a review of the traditional procedure and newer techniques.
