Category: Sports Introduction/Purpose: Although the peroneal muscle is known to be a major dynamic lateral stabilizer of the ankle, few informations are available regarding the changes of muscle strength and relationship with the outcomes after lateral ligaments repair surgery. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of peroneal strength on the validated functional outcome measures after the modified Broström procedure(MBP) for chronic ankle instability. Methods: Forty-one patients (41 ankles) underwent MBP using suture anchors were eligible and followed up to 2 years postoperatively. Functional evaluation consisted of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score(FAOS), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure(FAAM). The changes of peroneal strength were evaluated using isokinetic dynamometer. Differences in the functional outcomes between the 3 groups divided according to recovery rate of peroneal strength were analysed. Results: Peak torque and total work for eversion in 60º/sec angular velocity significantly improved from a mean 8.1 Nm, 5.2 Nm preoperatively to 11.4 Nm, 6.9 Nm at postoperative 2 years, respectively (P < .001, P = .038). Deficit ratio of peak torque for eversion significantly improved from a mean 38.6% to 17.4%, and a significant side to side difference was found (P = .011). There were no significant differences in FAOS, FAAM, and measurements of stress radiograph between the 3 groups. Conclusion: Although restoration of peroneal strength postoperatively was about 82.6% of unaffected ankle, patient-reported function in daily and sport activities were satisfactorily improved. Postoperative isokinetic strength of the peroneus demonstrated no statistically significant effects on the functional outcomes after MBP.

Background: Although the peroneal muscles are known to be the major dynamic lateral stabilizers of the ankle, little information is available regarding the change in muscle strength and relation with the outcomes after lateral ligament repair surgery. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of peroneal strength on the validated functional outcome measures after the modified Broström procedure (MBP) for chronic ankle instability. Methods: Forty-one patients (41 ankles) who underwent MBP using suture anchors were eligible and followed up to 2 years postoperatively. Functional evaluation consisted of the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). The changes of peroneal strength were evaluated using an isokinetic dynamometer. Differences in the functional outcomes between the 3 groups divided according to the recovery rate of peroneal strength were analyzed. Results: Peak torque and total work for eversion in 60 degrees/s angular velocity significantly improved from a mean 8.1 and 5.2 Nm preoperatively to 11.4 and 6.9 Nm at postoperative 2 years, respectively ( P < .001, P = .038). The deficit ratio of peak torque for eversion significantly improved from a mean 38.6% to 17.4%, and a significant side-to-side difference was found ( P = .011). There were no significant differences in FAOS, FAAM, and measurements of stress radiograph between the 3 groups. Conclusions: Although restoration of peroneal strength postoperatively was about 82.6% of the unaffected ankle, patient-reported function in daily and sport activities were satisfactorily improved. Postoperative isokinetic strength of the peroneals demonstrated no statistically significant effects on the functional outcomes after MBP. Level of Evidence: Level III, prospective comparative case series.

The Evans tenodesis is an operative treatment for chronic ankle instability with good short-term results. 18 , 24 , 25 The disadvantage of impaired hind foot kinematics and restricted motion has been described, 6 , 16 and only few reports of long-term results can be found. 14 No techniques have been used to assess the outcome objectively. We wanted to determine whether a modified Evans procedure 33 led to a satisfactory clinical and functional outcome. Nineteen patients were available at a 10-year follow-up. The clinical examination included a detailed questionnaire and stress radiographs. Foot function was evaluated with plantar pressure distribution measurements during walking and peroneal reaction time measurements elicited on a rapidly tilting platform (recorded with surface electromyography). High subjective patient satisfaction was contrasted with a high rate of residual instability, pain, and swelling. The radiographs showed an increased number of exostoses. The gait analysis revealed reduced peak pressures under the lateral heel and increased values under the longitudinal arch. The reaction times of the peroneal muscles were shorter on the operated side (significant: peroneus longus). The persistent clinical problems as well as the functional changes indicate that the disturbed ankle joint kinematics permanently alter foot function and may subsequently support the development of arthrosis. Therefore, the Evans procedure should only be applied if anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ankle ligaments is not feasible.

Background: There is limited information regarding the outcomes of operative treatment for ankle instability with coexisting arthritic changes in the medial gutter. This study was performed to evaluate the intermediate-term clinical and radiological outcomes following a modified Broström procedure and arthroscopic debridement in middle-aged patients with combined medial gutter osteoarthritis and chronic ankle instability. Methods: Twenty-two patients with medial gutter osteoarthritis related to chronic lateral ankle instability were followed for more than 3 years after operative treatment. All patients showed medial joint space narrowing of Takakura stage II at the time of surgery. The clinical evaluation consisted of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, visual analog scale (VAS) for medial ankle pain during walking, and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). Results: Mean AOFAS and FAAM scores significantly improved from 51.2 and 45.7 points preoperatively to 80.3 and 78.4 points at final follow-up, respectively ( P < .001). Although mean pain-VAS significantly improved from 6.8 points to 3.5 points ( P < .001), 8 patients (36.4%) complained of gait discomfort with considerable pain of 4 or more points. There was only 1 patient (4.5%) with recurrent ankle instability, while 6 patients (27.3%) showed a progression of arthritis stage. Conclusions: Modified Broström procedure combined with arthroscopic debridement appears to be an effective operative option for medial gutter osteoarthritis secondary to chronic ankle instability. Despite the onset of arthritis, most patients were able to achieve significant improvement in reducing pain while eliminating instability. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.
