Predictors of Peroneal Pathology in Brostrom-Gould Ankle Ligament Reconstruction for Lateral Ankle Instability

摘要

Background: Chronic ankle instability has a well-known association with intra-and extraarticular ankle pathologies, including peroneal tendonitis and subluxation. Patients with peroneal pathology are at risk for failure of conservative treatment for their ankle instability, thus identifying these patients is important and helps to guide management. There has been no literature looking at, in patients with chronic ankle instability, which associated ankle pathologies and patient characteristics are predictive of peroneal pathology.
