摘要

Category:SportsIntroduction/Purpose:The arthroscopic modified Brostr?m 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 laxit...
