Modified Broström Procedure

Category: Ankle, Arthroscopy Introduction/Purpose: The gold standard for the surgical treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability is the modified Brostrom procedure. Surgery aims to re-establish ankle stability and function, without compromising ankle motion. Recently introduced all inside arthroscopic modified Brostrom procedure coincide with the goal on that aspect. The purpose of this study was to investigate the early outcomes of all inside arthroscopic modified Brostrom operation for chronic ankle instability. Methods: From January 2015 to August 2016, 30 patients were included. The visual analog scale (VAS) score, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle–hindfoot score, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and Karlsson score were used to evaluate clinical outcomes. Anterior talar translation and talar tilt were used to evaluate radiologic outcomes. All patients had lateral ankle instability. All patients had giving way, persistent pain, and an inability to resume their preinjury activity level for more than 6 months. Clinical outcome evaluations were performed preoperatively, at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively, and at a final follow-up using the VAS score, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score, FAOS, and Karlsson score. Radiologic outcome evaluations were performed preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively at final follow-up using anterior talar translation, and talar tilt angle. Results: Thirty patients (19 males and 11 females) were followed up for a mean of 11.0 (range 4 – 23) months. The VAS, AOFAS, 1 FAOS subscale (Quality-of-life) and the Karlsson scores were improved significantly at the each follow-up period of 3 month, 6 month and 1 year postoperatively. Other 4 subscales of FAOS showed no significant outcomes (Table 1). The mean anterior talar translation and talar tilt showed significant improvements from 5.8 mm (SD = 0.4) and 7.9° (SD = 1.0) to 5.3 mm (SD = 0.3) and 5.7° (SD = 0.6) at the final follow-up each (p = 0.034, p=0.034). Conclusion: The arthroscopic modified Brostrom technique could be a viable alternative to the gold-standard open modified Brostrom procedure for anatomic repair of chronic lateral ankle instability. It can yield outstanding functional and clinical outcomes without adverse effects in terms of pain.

ABSTRACT Background Chronic lateral ankle instability causes significant problems in physical activity and accelerates development of osteoarthritic changes. Many procedures were designed to reconstruct the anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL) in the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability. Although most of them were effective, but brought big trauma and sacrifice of some tendons. Objective To design a minimally invasive ATFL reconstruction with partial peroneus brevis tendon and evaluate its clinical outcomes. Study design Nonrandomized controlled clinical trial. Materials and methods From 2004 to 2012, 29 patients of chronic lateral ankle instability were treated with minimally invasive ATFL reconstruction with partial peroneus brevis tendon. A 3 cm curved incision was made to explore the ATFL origin and its insertion. Half peroneus brevis tendon was taken to reconstruct the ATFL through the bone tunnel from the insertion of CFL to the insertion of ATFL in the fibular, and then fixed to ATFL insertion location on the talus. All patients were followed-up by radiology and clinical examination at least two years. Their ATFLs were always evaluated by standard stress X-ray examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to surgery and every 1 year after the operation. Functional results were assessed in terms of Karlsson score and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) anklehind foot score. Results The average follow-up period was 57.9 months (24- 114 months). The majority of results (93.1%) were satisfactory. The mean Karlsson score improved from 41.7 prior to surgery to 88.6 and AOFAS from an average 47.2 preoperatively to 91.7 postoperatively at the final follow-up visit. Paired t-tests showed improvements of great significance (p < 0.01). The ligaments were proved be reconstructed well in all patients by MRI. It showed the negative talar tilt sign postoperatively by stress X-rays. There was no recurrence of lateral ankle instability. Conclusion The minimally invasive ATFL reconstruction with partial peroneus brevis tendon has advantages of small trauma, good reconstruction and excellent clinical outcomes, thus, is a safe and effective method for the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability.

Category: Sports Introduction/Purpose: The arthroscopic modified Broström operation (MBO) has been developed and frequently used to treat chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). Clinical outcome of arthroscopic MBO was reported as good or excellent. But there were no report about comparison of clinical outcomes between patients with generalized ligamentous laxity (laxity) and without generalized ligamentous laxity (no laxity). The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of the group with generalized ligamentous laxity and without generalized ligamentous laxity in chronic lateral ankle instability. Methods: From January 2013 to November 2015, Arthroscopic MBO was performed in 99 patients for CLAI. We retrospectively analyzed 99 consecutive patients were included in terms of inclusion criteria. All patients had giving way, persistent pain and an inability to resume one’s preinjury activity level for more than 6 months. Patients were divided into 2 groups: laxity group (24 ankles) and no laxity group (75 ankles). Evaluation was performed preoperatively and at a final follow-up a minimum of 12 months postoperatively using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot ankle score, pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)(0~100), and talar tilt angle. Results: In terms of radiological outcomes, the preoperatively talar tilt angle was greater in patients in laxity group than in no laxity group (p < .001). The last follow-up talar tilt angle was the same between in patients in laxity group and in no laxity group (p=0.413). But preoperative-last follow up difference was found between two groups (p=0.03). The variation from preoperative to last follow up talar tilt angle showed significant greater value in laxity group (-6.9 ± 5.2) than in no laxity group (-4.2 ± 4.2)(p=0.03). In terms of clinical outcome, last follow up AOFAS and VAS in all groups were improved than preoperative scores (27.5 ± 23.7, 24.1 ± 18.4, respectively). But preoperative-last follow up differences were not found between two groups (P=0.52). Conclusion: In terms of radiologic outcomes, there was difference outcome variation between two groups, in terms of clinical outcomes, there were no difference outcome variations between two groups. All groups achieved successful clinical and radiological last follow up outcomes even though there was difference outcome variation in talar tilt. Arthroscopic MBO should be considered as a reasonable method in patients who have chronic lateral ankle instability regardless of generalized ligamentous laxity.

Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: There has a been recent increase in the use of the arthroscopic approach to lateral ankle ligament repair for chronic lateral ankle instability. However, the clinical outcomes of this technique are still unclear. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the current studies on arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair for chronic lateral ankle instability. Our hypothesis was that arthroscopic lateral ligament repair would result in excellent outcomes with a low complication rate. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases, based on the PRISMA guidelines, was performed during August 2017 by 2 independent reviewers. Included studies were evaluated with regard to level of evidence (LOE) and quality of evidence (QOE) using the Coleman Methodology Score. Variable reporting outcome data, clinical outcomes, and percentage of patients who returned to sport at previous level were also evaluated. Results: Twelve studies for a total of 421 ankles were included; 92% of studies were LOE III or IV and the QOE in all studies was of poor or fair quality. The weighted mean preoperative AOFAS score improved from 59.6 to 95.0 at a mean follow-up of 14.8 months in 8 studies. Five studies utilized Karlsson-Peterson scores with mean postoperative score of 88.5 at a mean follow-up of 21.2 months. Three comparative studies were reported. The comparative studies showed similar clinical outcomes between arthroscopic and open procedures. The overall complication rate was 13.4% in the included studies. . Only 2 studies reported patients returning to sport and demonstrated that 100% of patients returned to sport at pre-injury level. Conclusion: The current systematic review demonstrated that arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair yields favorable clinical outcomes in the short-term. However, there is no clinical evidence to support the advantages of the arthroscopic procedure over the open procedure, and there is no long-term data currently available for the arthroscopic procedure. There was a relatively high complication rate associated with the arthroscopic procedures, with a 13.4% complication rate, although recent comparative studies demonstrated similar complication rates for both open and arthroscopic techniques.

Abstract Introduction The most common ankle injury is a sprain. Surgical management is only indicated when nonoperative treatment fails. Modified Broström-Gould (MBG) is the gold standard surgical technique. MBG technique may be augmented with an internal brace. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of MBG with and without internal brace for the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability using validated patient recorded outcome measures. Method Retrospective analysis of patients that underwent lateral ankle ligament reconstruction between January 2012 and June 2019 were reviewed at and asked to complete the Manchester oxford foot and ankle questionnaire (MOXFQ). 29 patients (30 ankles) underwent lateral ligament reconstruction between these dates and completed the questionnaire, 20 patients (21 ankles) without internal brace and 9 patients with internal brace. Results The group with internal brace displayed significantly better results in the MOXFQ summary index score (20.49 ± 13.15 vs 43.53 ± 34.72, P = 0.014) and standing/walking subscale (15.48 ± 13.00 vs 45.92 ± 36.60, P = 0.023) compared to group without internal brace. There was no significant difference between Pain and Social interactions subscales. Conclusions Our results show that the addition of an internal brace to the MBG procedure for the management of chronic lateral ankle instability improves clinical outcomes.
