A Prospective Outcome and Cost-effectiveness Comparison Between Two Ligament Reattachment Techniques Using Suture Anchors for Chronic Ankle Instability

摘要

Background: There are various ligament reattachment techniques for the modified Brostrom procedure. There have been few comparative studies on recently developed techniques. This prospective study was performed to compare the functional outcomes of 2 different ligament reattachment techniques using suture anchors. We furthermore evaluated the cost-effectiveness of the suture bridge technique.
