ABSTRACT

Background: Lateral ankle ligament injuries account for more than 85% of ankle sprains. The most commonly injured ligament is the anterior talofibular one. About 10-30% of ankle sprains result in chronic symptomatology. Lateral ankle instability can be defined in a functional and mechanical way; sometimes it is misdiagnosed and underestimated. Chronic instability of the ankle ligaments leads to wear and early degeneration of the joint due to the incongruity of the joint facets. Objective: There are several surgical repair techniques; our hypothesis is that the anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ankle ligaments for chronic instability will restore the patient to the previous level of activity with the best results on the scale of functionality and satisfaction. Material y methods: We analyzed fifty-six patients who underwent Broström-Gould technique, with preoperative and postoperative evaluation with the Kaikkonen scale. Results: We found 60% of the patients with excellent results, only one patient with poor results, who had arthrosic changes previous to surgery. Conclusion: We must choose anatomical reconstruction options, especially for patients who need to reintegrate into their sports activities.
